Bert Love's Blocksetter in colour
In the Observer Colour Magazine (often called the colour supplement) for 30th November 1969 there appeared an article entitled "Men will be boys", giving a brief write-up on a number of men who pursued, as an adult hobby, what many would consider purely a boyhood activity. The introduction read as follows:
Report by Judith Penner on the shameless breed of men who devote their lives to playing with toys.
