To wonder if the Charlie and Lola mystery of whether Charlie is a boy or a girl was ever solved?

[FreakinRexManningDay]

Yes I am talking about a thread from ions ago.

Why?

Because this morning Lola called Charlie he and him and that thread immediately popped into my head.

charlie is her big brother - why is it doubtful?

Is it really a mystery that he is a boy?

Eh? How was it ever a mystery?

He's a boy isn't he doesn't she call him her brother

When was it a mystery?

Eh?

I don't remember that thread but I'd always assumed he was a boy...

Isn't Charlie her big brother?

There was a thread a long time ago over whether Charlie was a boy or a girl as he was never referred to as brother (I have this little sister Lola..... etc etc).
I hadn't seen C&L in a long time and it popped into my head when it was on.
Surely some old gimmer saddos remember that thread?

no mystery, as you said, Lola calls him he and refers to her brother charlie.

Come to think of it I think it was on _chat. Which means its gone forever.

No mystery surely. He is her brother.

He wears trousers. She wears skirts. Tis obvious innit? (Joke!)

But really, here is proof if you really need it.

He's a boy. I've been to a reading with Lauren Child and she said so! I need a life too

I thought in the episode where Charlie breaks his arm, Lola says "my big brother Charlie ...." I'm actually scundered for myself that I remembered that

Of course he's a boy. A nice role model for a caring boy who will make a lovely daddy. Whereas the girl is a proper little madam.

Perhaps people were jealous and wanted to claim Charlie as female too?

In the books he is always referred to as he/him etc

I agree with beast. Charlie is a lovely boy!
