Worzel Gummidge - Tramp or Scarecrow.

[MrsBananaGrabber]

Drunken conversation with SIL regarding said character. She seems to think he was a lonely tramp wondering around the countryside looking for work and the only work he could find was as a scarecrow.

Now I think it's pretty common knowledge that old Worzel was a scarecrow that came to life, bear in mind that I haven't seen it for years.

I'm sure i'm right

[southeastastra]

yes he was a scarecrow, didn't he take his head off alot and replace it with others

[JarethTheGoblinKing]

He was a scarecrow!

[jimswifein1964]

Scarecrow, made by the crowman, who did have a home but looked very trampy.

[LucyInTheSkyWithAntiHistamines]

Scarecrow.

He scared the bejaysus out of me when I was wee. Apparently I used to cry and hide behind the sofa when he changed his heads.

[Notalone]

Scarecrow - SHAME ON YOUR SIL!!!. Tramp indeed

[GabySolis]

He was a scarecrow, he was made by the Crowman, and he had a lot of spare heads that he could use depending on his mood - 'thinking head', reading head' etc.
Does your SIL know nothing?! :-) Methinks she should take a leaf out of Worzel's book and get herself a clever head, she needs one lol

[MrsBananaGrabber]

I did say that I don't know any tramps with interchangable heads, but would she listen.

I loved Worzel and used to sing the Worzel E's :)

No idea, but was filmed in village where I live at very posh farm!

[JarethTheGoblinKing]

My Dad used to call me Worzel Gummidge because I had frizzy hair :(:(:(

[notremotelyintofootie]

We have 16 DVDs of it! Ds loved it when he was 8, not cool now he is 11!

[Feenie]

Comes from a series of books by Barbara Euphan Todd - very definitely about a scarecrow.

[NotbigNotfunnyNotclever]

Scarecrow

And Aunt Sally was from the coconut shy at the funfair

I aim for an Aunt Sally make up look most days

[Onetoomanycornettos]

This is the type of argument that could break out into all out war between me and my husband. We need to get a life!

[MrsBananaGrabber]

I think she must have been looking for the hidden subtext.

He was scary wasn't he. I stiil say 'a cup of tea and a slice of cake' .

[LadyOfTheManor]

My hair resembles Worzel Gummage's in the mornings.

GHDs were the best purchase to date.

[stainesmassif]

worzel was okay, but mr turniphead (was that his name?) - evil scarecrow - was absolutely terrifying.

[RightUpMyRue]

He was a bit of trampy scarecrow IMO.

Loved Worzel. Favourite programme EVER.

[Popbiscuit]

Definitely Scarecrow. I used to be frightened of him too and for a while refused to go to the Harvester because of the very lifelike Worzel and Sally statues there (despite my love of those swirly ice creams with the sparklers).

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

FGS do people know nothing these days . Worzel Gummidge was a scarecrow, he'd be well pissed off to hear himself described as a tramp, I seem to remember he took the hump quite easily :o

His 'andsome 'head used to scare the fuck out of me!

[MrsBananaGrabber]

GwendolineMaryLacey - ha ha, I have tears in my eyes. He did used to take the hump at the slightest thing, he was a sensitive tramp scarecrow ole Worzel.
