Advantages: Good adition to Lego roads. Disadvantages: None
There are masses of Lego sets available that I could tell you about because I have work with children many years and Lego is always a popular construction set to have in child care /school situations. Lego is also a popular toy at home for children to play with too.
Children love to build play scenes with Lego constructing buildings or building vehicles. To help make the scene there are base plates available some with just studs on to build the houses onto others like these are road ways to drive Lego cars on these base plates also have studs around the flat road so that your child can use Lego bricks to make road side scenery or houses.
Lego Straight & Crossroad plates item number 7280.

Advantages: good cast, enjoyable, interesting, promising start Disadvantages: has to shake off the old version of the series
I vaguely remember Crossroads from my childhood. Somehow it never captivated me in the same way as Coronation Street always has done. I recall some of the characters – that dippy Benny with the tea-cosy hat, the ginger haired bloke in the wheelchair, the imposing headmistress-like Meg played by Noelle Gordon. Think of Crossroads, think of cheap sets and caricatured roles – blame my memory for anything you disagree with here.
However, it must have had some kind of charm, because I was pleased to hear it was coming back in 2001. Admittedly, I do like soap operas and faithfully follow EastEnders, Coronation Street and Brookside. I have even tried to get into Emmerdale, but apart from being mesmerised by any scenes with the McGann brother in, the rest of it seems pretty bland. But I thought I’d give Crossroads a go ...

Advantages: escapism at its best. Disadvantages: none
Now let me explain the title, Crossroads just re-started recently and it already rates, with me, as one of the best things on television.
It is now called a Hotel and this hotel was built on the site of the old Motel which explains why the set has changed.
In the very first episode there was a lot of new younger faces but they also brought back Doris the house keeper and Jill Harvey previous owner and share holder, now deceased as I will explain in a minute.
Within the first week another old face appears in the form of Adam Chance, who is all set to charm his way back into Jill's life.
By the way I am only 28 and I only just remember the original crossroads, my grandma used to watch it and I now love listening to the music as it rtakes me back and reminds me of her.
Sarah-Jane Harvey, Jill's daughter, has come back ...
