THERE WAS A VICTORIAN EXCITEMENT in the dusty streets of Smallvania last night when Mayor Puddleduck switched on the first ever toy electric-powered light in Toyland. Neither Andrew's nor Philip's Toylands had proper electric lights, and until yesterday it was only the bedside lamp in Kensington Palace that could lay claim to being remotely close to a toy light.
'I am delighted that there is now a light in Smallvania, on my horse-drawn caravan' said the Mayor.
Some were critical that amid the credit crunch, the Mayor appeared to be splashing out taxpayers' money on lavish lightbulbs, while businesses such as Bramble Enterprises struggle to pay their debts.
'I'd like to make clear I bought the AA batteries and light with my own money!' he added.
'I just think its fantastic that the first owner of a proper electric toy light is a duck!' said local Bostonian Ducky Mallard, who didn't appear at all jealous. Ducky is four years old.
