Hello From My Englishness

[Todger65]

Riots passed me by, but I do live out in the sticks.

I identify as a floor board, but please don’t walk all over me.

How about Blick (the eldest), Snick, Flick, Plick, Whick, Glick, and Quee (the youngest) from the original Grimms Fairy tales.

Changed to Doc, Bashful, Dopey, Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, and Happy by Disney.

I did cheat a bit, found it here https://owlfindout.com/7-dwarfs-names/ but I vaguely remember reading some of the original Grimms Fairy Tales English Translation, when I was a kid and remembered that they were different to Disneys version.

Mickey Mouse was originally going to be called Mortimer

The old stuff has some genuine class.

Original Popeye is a firm favourite.

And if I say Buster Keaton you'll have an image!

Tonight's rewatch was back to the future. (For a little persons first watch)

Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson. Had a pair of tomes gifted by an aunt.

When I tell the children's stories, the wolf gets cut open, and Gramma jumps out!
My kids objected EVERY time
The 3 little pigs get eaten in turn (again, my kids self sensor!!!)
