Pig forced to wear seatbelt

[Gromit]

The popular children’s cartoon character Peppa Pig has been forced to wear a seatbelt following health and safety fears.

Is this why it is impossible to watch repeats of the 'Wacky Races"? Who was your favourite?

Dick Dastardly and Muttley in the Mean Machine
The *** Brothers in the Bouldermobile
The Gruesome Twosome in the Creepy Coupe
Professor Pat Pending in the Convert-a-Car
Red Max in the Crimson Haybailer
Penelope Pitstop in the Compact Pussycat
Sergeant Blast and Private Meekly in the Army Surplus Special
The Ant Hill Mob in the Bulletproof Bomb
Lazy Luke and Blubber Bear in the Arkansas Chuggabug
Peter Perfect in the Turbo Terrific
Rufus Ruffcut and Sawtooth in the Buzzwagon

The sIag Brothers in the Bouldermobile

I'll be boring and say Dastardly and Muttley was my favourite.

i don't think my daughter would notice the difference, and i don;t forsee any issues with her saying 'but peppa doesn't wear a seatbelt' when i strap her in the car.

if anything, i would say that norman price should be put into a young offenders institute for repeated arson offences against pontypandy, if only to relieve the stress on fireman sam, poor fellow.

i never really got the point of wacky races although i watched it al the time. surely the favourite (and more interesting) always has to be dick dastardly and muttly. the rest were just periphery.

There's nothing wrong with educating kids and reminding parents at this level as we can really use cartoons as a powerful education tool.
And I loved "The Anthill mob" especially that one that was always crying.

I suppose a seatbelt too tight is one way of getting sliced bacon. The reason it is impossible to watch Wacky Races is the same now as it was then - they're rubbish.

Were you more of a "Hair Bear Bunch' fan jno?

[flip_flop]

Sadly, I still know the lyrics;

In the Wonderland Zoo, we're the certain bears who,
stay at home every night, never quarrel or fight,
aw, we don't even bite,
so don't yell help help here come the bears,
help help here come the bears,
help help here come the bears,
Let's split - help! it's the hair bear bunch!

Is this a sign of a mis-spent youth?

I think one of them was called squarebear

The whole HSE thing in this country has become a joke. Much has I hate to admit it the French are right. They dont even have a HSE do they ?

My favs were The anthill mob and Mutley

The Jetsons are an accident waiting to happen, Iliked Dastardly and Mutley. Mutley must be the only kids cartoon character who was allowed to swear on T.V "s h a g g i n g, f r a g g i n g, r a g g i n g."

Better for Peppa pig to wear a seat belt, than to be banned altogether in case the pig causes offence to a certain group.
