Lovely house, big garden, grandparents on hand, loads of local friends. They actually appear to live in a community which, to me, seems more unrealistic than Bubble Guppies.

Or is it incredibly bourgeois??

Even my ds says "That Miss Rabbit works EVERYWHERE!"

Foxsticks · 25/01/2014 21:59

Oh my god. King Thistle really is trying to wipe out the Elvish race via Barry. The cheese on the boat... it all makes sense now.

I hope I'm spared when the revolution comes.

The only reason Nanny Plum will be saved is because she always bails out the wise old elf. Wise? He's a charlatan.

CharlesRyder · 25/01/2014 21:59

Maybe there is no welfare so those not employed by the Cartel have to have multiple jobs.

I've thought this too! I'm quite new to the glowing pink cult of Peppa as DS has only just at last! got into being kept quiet with PP while I MN get his tea ready etc. But it's slowly started to become quite compelling to me as well. I've been Envy at their happy marriage. And quite Confused by having this reaction.
It even seems like they're still hot for each other and are at it like, well, grunting pigs, whenever Peppa and George have gone to bed..

I might have to start a new thread.

AIBU to leave my husband? I thought we were happy and our life was a fairytale but it turns out he is an evil overlord who is planning to terminate an entire race. He is so bigotted he doesn't even allow the Elves to enjoy and play their own music. He is a misogynist who treats our nanny appallingly. On occasion he has forced her to dress as a giant squirrel for his own amusement.

I should have seen it coming. His mother is deranged and our twins have a wilfulness that I'm sure is inherited from his side of the family. Should I LTB?

Recently a wonderful man has come into my life. Nothing has happened.... yet. He is sensible. Normal. And a bit of an expert at many things. I feel dreadful as he has a family and they appear to be living the dream. But he could be my passport out of this dictatorial hell. What should I do? Sad

Fox please, please post that on Gransnet!

Foxsticks · 25/01/2014 23:04

Do they even watch B&H on gransnet? Wouldn't they think I was a complete odd bod?!

Bogeyface · 25/01/2014 23:06

I heart Nanny Plum!

As for the Pigs, I would agree that there house needs surveying. When Daddy Pig designed the house for the Wolf family, there were no foundations! Mr Bull just laid bricks on grass, I am amazed all the houses are still at the tops of the hills, they should all be a pile of bricks in a muddy puddle.

And how did Granny and Grandpa Pig get their boat from the hill after the flood?

And where did all that water go in one night?

And I think that Mr Bull and Miss Rabbit are loverrrrrrs, but as they seem to be the only people who do any actual work, they havent had time to get married yet! I think the Bull/Rabbit wedding will be like the lesbian kiss on Brookie, the first interspecies marriage on British TV!

TiaTheTulipFairy · 25/01/2014 23:10

Miss Rabbit is Mummy Rabbit's sister. There's an episode where Miss Rabbit trips over one of the Rabbit children's toys and hurts her ankle and Mummy Rabbit has to go out and do all Miss Rabbit's jobs for the day.

I suspect that there may in fact be many, many Miss Rabbits (or indeed Misses Rabbit?) , a play on the idea that the Rabbit clan as a whole may have been "at it like rabbits", so to speak

Possibly overthinking it...

Shaky · 25/01/2014 23:43

There is an episode where Miss? Rabbit is pregnant and goes to the hospital in labour. She is greeted by her sister Nurse/midwife. She has twins called Rosie and Robbie.

Blush I may have watched too much Peppa Pig

Bogeyface · 26/01/2014 02:03

Shaky It is Mrs Rabbit that has the twins, Miss Rabbit is the midwife!

Bogeyface · 26/01/2014 02:05

My personal favourite is when Miss Rabbit is given an award by the Queen for being the hardest working person in the country and she faints over and over!

Bubblegoose · 26/01/2014 04:28

I think the bickering between Mummy and Daddy Pig hints at a very unfulfilled sex life. Also, Daddy Pig seems fairly self absorbed and I imagine he's quite a selfish lover.

TheRealAmandaClarke · 26/01/2014 05:53

Sarah Jane Kennedy does the voice for both Nanny Plumb and Miss Rabbit.

I envy their uncluttered house! It must be so easy to keep tidy and clean. They clearly live happily within their means and they are not materialistic in the slightest. Good homecooked food; plenty healthy outdoor play; worthy outings to places such as the library and the museum. I just wonder whether they mind only having one set of clothes each...

Misspixietrix · 26/01/2014 07:43

TheRealAmandaClarke you paused the credits didn't you? Grin. TiatheTulipFairy it's because they get most of their stuff from Grandpas' Garden right? Or falling into BlackBerry bushes. That foraging thread from a few months back made me think of that very episode I've clearly watched too many episodes Wink.
