’do you Know what the best is?’ Bum Bum.
Yes, by most of the Danish children well, and have known for over six decades.

Jacob Mortensen, who comes walking past the store with his 11-year-old daughter Monika and the rest of the family, cares not that the iconic toy store now closes.
– I think it is a little sad. For when I was a kid, it was always nice to go into a Cousin of the BR-store. It was always something you looked forward to.
He explains that when there was a birthday or christmas, it was the Cousin of BR, was used.
– I think that it is a pity that the next generation will not have the chance to experience being inside a toy store, says Jacob Mortensen, who believes it due to the internet.
He lives in the UNITED states, so his children do not know so much to the Cousin of BR.
– So why is it called the Toys R’Us instead. And Toys R’Us has suffered the same fate as the Cousin of BR, therefore, it is extremely disappointing to come home and see that Cousin of BR cannot keep the propeller in the water.
His children are perhaps not surprisingly also tired of the situation.
– They also think it is annoying. For at the time that they were six-seven-eight years it seems that Toys R’Us was amazing. And they loved always, when the best had come on a visit, ’now we need to check in Toys R’Us’.
But now the adventure is over.
