In response to Tops spin around, don't they?, written by Ann2 on January 02, 1998 at 15:05:02

(Pegtops = loose trousers that get narrower around the ankles.)

Curiouser and curiouser!So is this a present of trousers?These things always create more questions than they answer!

There is an oldfashioned Swedish word for this toy ='topp'! Nowadays it is called 'snurra'!
One of the reasons I love shopping in IKEA is that the names they give everything are so intruiging! They were selling a 'snurra' a few seasons ago, and it was a top.All part of the magic and mystery of langauge!
