I wonder if there is a retirement home for the likes of Sooty, Sweep, Fingermouse, Zippy et al

It would be great.

Imagine the conversations!

Sooty gave me the creeps!!!
Why did he whisper into that old man's ear?
It was very rude :-0

Mum worked in Woolies when they had the old wooden counters with cashiers on every one. One poor child was in tears when the salesman put his hand up Sooty and was so upset that Sooty wasn't unique or real.

Sooty was OK but couldn't bear Sue's squeaky voice or Sweep!

Give me Andy Pandy any day :-)
