Ok I know he is a fictional character but every time I see the original film he makes my blood boil.

20 years he sat in that bed watching his family work their fingers to the bone ,Charlie wins a golden ticket and good old grandpa Joe's dancing round the bed Yelling "Take me take me" WTF If I was mrs Bucket I would have thrown the cabbage soup all over him.

Yes I have PMT and yes I needed an irratinal rant !

I also suspect the other two old farts were swinging the lead too.
My main thought during Charlie & Chocolate Factory was.. . . All that cabbage soup and living in such close quarters. It must have STANK!!!

No YANBU. Any man who can get up and dance the way he DOD, days after the poor old cow of a mother held up a loaf and said 'we'll have a feast tonight Charlie' ought to be taken out and shot... or have his ounce of tobacco shoved up his nostrils!

Sarahjct · 09/01/2008 15:20

DOD did

Dynamicnanny · 09/01/2008 15:20

Totally agree in fact I raised this point in the RW the other day - I knw what I'd do if I was Mrs Bucket

LavenderMist · 09/01/2008 19:08

I quite agree, have thought this for years. Nice to know that this sort of thing bothers other people too

dingdongdingdong · 09/01/2008 19:12

totally agree, I am always appalled by their slovenly habits, DH does not get it at all, would prob quite like to be grandpa joe in fact

newgirl · 09/01/2008 19:19

he is 96 and a half and is depressed all day until charlie comes to talk to them and then he becomes like a little boy again

i think the films did him an injustice

pyjamagirl · 09/01/2008 19:21

He is a lazy old man IMO
