Trumpton had the fire brigade.

 

Hugh, Pugh, Barney, Mcgrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub.

 

And don't forget Chigley. They had the Fort with Captain Snort and the soldiers.

 

Far better than spongebob square pants

If you ever get this question at a pub quiz you can amaze (or bore) your mates by knowing that it's

 

Pugh, Pugh etc etc

[Highlander]

talk about going off topic...what on earth are you guys on about (not the Quaker ad I've seen that and damn funny it is)? Or am I just too young to know

[MC]

Or am I just too young to know

 

To old you mean, I didn't think they had television when you were a kid

[ziplex]

Here you go Highlander, Windy Miller's Song...............

 

 

Windy Miller, Windy Miller

sharper than a thorn

Like a mouse he's spry and nimble

when he grinds the corn

And like a bird he'll watch the wind

and listen for the sound

Which says he has the wind he needs

to make the sails go round

 

...............coming back now?

[Country_est]

But who was the arsonist in Trumpton. ?

 

Such a small village and so many fires. has to be suspicious.

[MC]

You are thinking of the song by Half man Half biscuit called Trumpton riots,

 

I'll do a search to see if i can find it.

 

 

Here's the lyrics,

 

Unemployments rising

In the Chigley end of town.

And it's speading like pneumonia;

Doesn't look like going down.

There's trouble at the fire station;

Someone's had the sack.

And the lads are going to launch a scheme

To get rid of Captain Black.

 

Tell PC McGarry

To get himself a mate.

And arm themselves with C. S. Gas

They're gonna be out late.

We've had calm conformers in since 1966.

And now subversions in the air

In the shape of flying bricks!

 

Chorus:

Someone get a message through

To Captain Snort

That they better start assembling

The boys from the fort.

Keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight,

'Cause there's gonna be riot

Down in Trumpton Tonight.

 

All this aristocracy

Has really got to stop.

We'll overthrow the surgery

And kidnap Doctor Mop

And Chicley Militant Socialists

Will storm the market square

And make plans to assasinate

Our autocratic mayor!

 

Windy Militant rages past

With Corn grinders to war

With windmill sails and bombs with nails

They smash the town hall door.

But Snorty and the boys arrive

With one big erstwhile (?) crew

Whereupon they bring about

A military coup.
