Hi again
My Dad used to work for a coffee company and used to deliver coffee to different palces...I still remember the coffee smell of the van (although I don't drink coffee myself). Anyway, his comapny had a petrol account with BP so he used to add a smurf to the company's petrol account every time he filled up which was great for me. I was mainly interested in the music smurfs as my family does have a musical heritage that stretches back a long way. I used to love the smurf band figures when I was a kid (Drummer, Singer, Guitarist, Trumpeter etc).
When I started collecting again in Oct 2003 all I initially wanted to do was to get the smurf band figures again. I had no idea smurfs were still being produced and had no idea about the new music smurfs. I remember the first time I saw the Drum playset....I almost wet myself as that was so much better than the original drummer from a music point of view.
Somehow I have ended up collecting a few more besides just the music ones but it was never my intention. Now I collect anything smurfy although that has also made me very poor unfortunately and in debt on my credit card....however I am not alone as I have this forum where many of us are also very poor and in debt too
Dyar....although you can always call me Paul if you want
