Bath time in the Sixties was always fun as a kid. For some reason I associate it with Sunday evenings. Maybe I had one bath a week! Phew! The fun came in the form of lots of bath toys mixed with tons of bubble bath in what I recall as being a incredibley deep tub. Or was just so small!
Any toy with a whiff of submersibility was chucked in the water but my favourite toys were the wonderful metal-booted Action Man Deep Sea Diver, the rubbery shark from the Action Man underwater [?] set, the orange explorer boat from another Action Man set and swimming furiously through them all, the Billy Blastoff diver. Good clean fun!
What are your favourite bath time toys?

Good topic Woodsy, bath time was always an aquatic adventure for my toys! I too remember when the bathtub was big and deep; my brother and I both were plunked in the tub together. He had a plastic MECCANO Jr. set which allowed us to build a tub-spanning bridge with a partly submerged support in the middle. We two engineering geniuses ;) sat facing each other with the structure between us, using the sides of the tub and the bridge as a roadway for various vehicles and toys (often Fisher Price).
