Playdays

[coffers1]

I remember playdays as a kid, especially the Why bird stop....but what kinda bird is a why bird?  It will make a lot of 20 somethings feel much better to know

The Why Bird was a green woodpecker.

A Geordie green woodpecker

Never mind the 20 somethings - some of us are fast approaching 40 and remember it!

I used to like the roundabout song -

Roll up and ride on Rosie! The... ....something...something......ride!

sung by the lovely Mr Jolly.

Have you seen the "Shiny Show"? I'm sure one of the puppets has poppy cat or why bird's voice.

I liked that dancing girl, I think it was Susie or Sally.

"I'm happy, when I clap my hands, I'm happy when I stamp my feet,

Come on wiggle every bit of you and clap, clap, clap to the beat!"

the dancing girl - was it a black puppet?

[natalie_1982]

Yes, she was always at the climbing frame and was part of the Dave Benson-Phillips 'stop'.

I liked the tent stop too.
