AIBU to think insurance rates in Pontypandy (Fireman Sam)....

[CloverHeart]

Must be absolutely sky high, and near impossible to secure a decent policy?

Also, anyone else thinks that Sam might have Hero Syndrome and actually starts the fires/dangerous situations himself with the help of Norman Price, who will take Sam's place in the future?

(I know, I know. IABU to have watched FMS and thought all this out, but DS is obsessed and the new episodes start tomorrow - so I'm forced into a Fireman Sam all day marathon which I will take any day over a whole month of peppa pig )

You're right - I've lost count of the number of times that Dilys Price's shop has gone up in flames!

I know!!! How does that woman cope with day to day life, never mind the expense??

My dream job would be a magistrate in Pontypandy. I'd asbo Norman 'til it hurt and lock up Dilys for neglect.

I got myself really riled about fireman Sam just recently. No one ever addresses Norman's behaviour, dilys is such an ineffective parent. Oh, well, Norman, no harm done, you've learned your lesson. He clearly bloody hasn't! My children would not be allowed to play with Norman. He's going to get worse and worse and will almost certainly be in jail before adulthood.

After seeing this episode, I'm a little worried about what goes on at the station when they're not on a call.

Fireman sam is normans dad. He got dirty with diylis one drunken New year's.

It's why norman sets fires, it's the only way to get attention from his deadbeat dad.

Clover, my son us equally obsessed, but we've only ever watched episodes on DVD - is Fireman Sam on TV currently????

Agree he is Norman's father, and Norman's pyromania is a cry for help...

I do this, used to be ds2's obsession and is now ds3's. Dilys needs to go on a parenting course and Bronwyn should have been fined when she called the air ambulance out when Sarah bruised her ankle.

I've recently started watching a friends 3 year old boy who's Sam mad so this is the first I've seen of the newer versions.
Is it wrong that on seeing Elvis I thought he was a bit fit and if I lived in Pontypandy I'd do that?

Loki my Mil has a proper crush on station officer Steele

She thinks he's a real Man and a right dirty bastard bed.
Poor dh is scarred for life

Loki and JonSnow - look at my picture up thread.

Watch an episode with Sam and Tom Thomas and listen for subtext. Just sayin'

LOL Elvis and Steele and THAT episode! My DH called me a dirty bitch when i pointed that ^^ scene out to him!

Agree with all so far. I thought Penny and Elvis were meant to be having it away and I am pretty sure Bronwyn and Mike Flood are at it - he is always "fixing her leaky pipes in the basement"

Burren it is on Cartoonito.

I really am wondering about these new episodes...

DH was at work so I had to take the photo to prove what I had seen.

Fortunately he is just as mature and sophisticated juvenile as me.
