Re: Not quite forgotten but...
Same here. The tale of my son, at 3 years old, 'feeding' my Revox cassette deck with fruit pastilles (open the door/mouth, put a sweetie on it, press the button, deck closes its 'mouth', reopens - sweetie has been eaten) came back to me via an acquaintance a few months back as 'You'll never believe this, but this guy's toddler...'
The incident happened in the UK, it was rel;ated to me in Australia. And my son is 38 now.
Ah, the power of internet communication!
