- Running your own toy and collectibles shop is most children's dream.
However, for one father-and-son duo that dream has become a reality thanks to social media.
Dale Wilkinson, 36, set up Lads and Dads - a trading cards and collectibles shop - earlier this year with his 12-year-old son Ricky Wilkinson.
The business has grown exponentially in just a few short months - they have racked up more than 30,000 stream followers and have sold more than 200,000 packs of cards since their adventure began.
The duo are now in the process of expanding into the unit next door to add a gastro pub style cafe.
Dale said: "My son was an avid collector of cards and watched streamers.
“He wanted to start streaming but at the time he was only 11."
Dale decided to support his son by starting a collectibles channel together on TikTok.
He said: "People liked the dynamic of a lad and a dad together."

- It was like a scene out of a Hollywood movie when one Yorkshireman drove to his hotel in Los Angeles the same day a trio of wildfires could be seen ravaging the area.
Former Conservative councillor and Venue23 bar owner Karl Johnson, said: “As I was coming through (LA) there were fires on the side of the road and pylons coming down - bits of trees, rubbish, everything, being thrown across the street, electric off.”
Wakefield-based Karl had spent the first part of his holiday in Las Vegas before driving to LA which was in a state of emergency.
“It took 5-6 hours, the traffic was quite bad,” he said.
In some parts of LA, bulldozers can be seen removing cars when 30,000 residents were forced to evacuate and many of them abandoning their vehicles.
Karl, who also works as a Freddie Mercury tribute act, said: “Only I could arrive at a city that's on fire. High winds, and it's all over the world news.”
