I mean wtf?

Isn't he annoying enough on the telly?

Can you imagine your child having one, and playing with it? The places it would get stuck and you, yes YOU would have to rescue it.

When I watched Fireman Sam as a child I frickkin hated Norman.
He gives us gingers a bad name, is he still acting the fool & setting fire to him 'mam's' shop?

Fireman Sam's secret love child.

Have you seen the way he looks at Dilys?

What other reason could there be for not drop-kicking the little shit for starting all the fires?

Snort at all the people getting offended on poor Norman's behalf.

I'd have thought it not worth the risk in case Toy Story was true and toys really do do their own thing when we're not in the room.

Babydubs has your DN's one set light to the cat yet? Or been found mysteriously in a tree? Or down a well.

Think about it, though; after being forced to watch the one where the bus breaks down yet again, you could nip upstairs and punch the norman doll in the head, repeatedly, to diffuse your frustration!

Do you have a Norman doll, though queenmaeve? Cos it might have been him.

yy jooly it might be handy as a punchbag

DS likes fireman sam and often impersonates Naughty Norman Price, he can do a welsh accent quite well [proud and scared in equal measures].

I'm more offended by the price than the product.

My DS (now 8) was a massive Fireman Sam fan as a small child and his favourite character was Norman Price - so yes I would have bought this. Actually DS will still watch Fireman Sam from time to time so might not let him see that link Grin

Snort at 'I hate that little prick', Grin such ire directed at a fictional character! Albeit one who is a pyromaniacal idiot.

I think Norman Price is scapegoated 'cos he's ginger and the product of a working single parent.

Or an annoying little shit.

Just depends.

I was ready to ask what toy could possibly be that bad when I saw it was HIM! That boy makes me want to shoot myself in the head. If I was his mother I probably would have by now! ShockGrin

ExH and I always thought Norman was the product of a fling with a travelling salesman who took advantage of Dilys Price Grin.

My DS (3.6) would love this. We're planning on getting him some Fireman Sam stuff for Xmas. He is fecking annoying though.
Isn't Dilys a 'Mrs'? Wonder what happened to her H? Maybe he left because she had an affair, resulting in the pita known as Norman?
