Don't get me wrong, I hope they vote No for various reasons, but I can't help think of a wonderful world without Balamory, Katie Moray and the weird programme where there's a childminder and they sing their way to work.
Good riddance!

Don't forget Nina & the neurons. I think Wooly & Tig is scottish too Grin

JennyCalendar · 16/09/2014 21:53

We love Me Too in this house!

I may sing the song 'I'm on my way to work today' as I'm walking to work

WooItsAGhostCat · 16/09/2014 22:01

No Balamory and no 'me too' would be wonderful!
I love Mr Tumble. We need more of him.

Asheth · 16/09/2014 22:02

I think Riverseafingal will declare independence from both England and Scotland and become some sort of surreal dictatorship ruled by Granny Murray!

MrsBasterd · 16/09/2014 22:03

Hah I said something similar earlier when Balamory was on.

Cant stand Mr Tumble though. Surely there's a good middle ground somewhere?

Sparklypants · 16/09/2014 22:06

Urgh! If England becomes a mr tumble/Justin fletcher dictatorship then I'm moving to Scotland (I'd actually quite like to move to Edinburgh).

JudysPriest · 16/09/2014 22:08

Granny Murray could fuck up Mr Tumble big time. Agree with Asheth.

MrsGoslingWannabe · 16/09/2014 22:11

I was thinking the same thing. Far too many Scottish accents on there. Hardly any Welsh or Irish.

Trapper · 16/09/2014 22:11

Finally someone is raising the important issues! Aren't some of the characters on gigglebiz Scottish too?

JudysPriest · 16/09/2014 22:14

Once you've seen Granny Murray pull out a vibe over Richard Whitely you can never let your kids watch her again.

Jelliebabe2 · 16/09/2014 22:14

Ha! Mr tumble lives near my friend who lives in a village nr Maidenhead!Grin

Wickeddevil · 16/09/2014 22:14

In the event of a yes vote they can have the pound. And granny Murray. But could we please have wooly and tig?

LovleyRitaMeterMaid · 16/09/2014 22:15

We will pay for our pensions by selling you all these quality programs. Or swap them for easties?

Asheth · 16/09/2014 22:16

So our choices are the UK or the independent states of Balamory, Riverseafingal and Tumble Town?

I think the no campaign seriously missed a trick here!

Ormally · 16/09/2014 22:55

"What's the story in Balamory, will they vote yes or no?
Who's the Tory in Balamory, we'll tell them where to go.
Edie McReadie, she looks greedy, could she sink so low?
Or up to the castle with pitchforks for Archie
He's ever so feudal and with the wrong party"

FelixFelix · 16/09/2014 22:58

What will happen to poor Nurse Morag? Shock

londonrach · 16/09/2014 23:02

No wooly and tig....

FoxSticks · 16/09/2014 23:07

Oh god, please don't leave us with Tumble, Topsy and Tim, Mr Bloom, Justin and Grandpa! At least we'll still have Andy I guess.

mameulah · 16/09/2014 23:08

And aside from the custody battle for Mr Tumble and I vote NO, as someone Scottish and living in Scotland can we please before it is too late and I am banished to the world of Gaelic TV start a campaign to get Mr Tumble on some kind of reality television programme?

My preference would be I'm A Celebrity.

Definitely NOT Celebrity Big Brother, that would ruin the whole illusion of Mr Tumble forever.

Will we start another thread and start a new campaign?

FoxSticks · 16/09/2014 23:11

Could we invent a new reality show for him based on the Hunger Games? I'd like to see him try to outrun a pack of dogs in his stupid clown shoes.

Rinoachicken · 16/09/2014 23:14

ormally that is going to be in my head all night now! Pure genius

mameulah · 16/09/2014 23:14

Oh noooo. You just can't be mean about Mr Tumble. He busy me fifteen minutes every morning to have a cup of tea and quickly phone my Mum.

FoxSticks · 16/09/2014 23:18

But it would be fun to see him try to outwit the naughty doggies! Plus there's bound to be stuff in his spotty bag to help him out. We'll send Grandpa and Justin in with him as allies.

Realising I might be overthinking this Confused

ithoughtofitfirst · 16/09/2014 23:18

My ds would cease to function without nina and the neurons. He thinks she is a princess. I love all of the above mentioned programmes but Nurse Morag? Shudder. I'd love to see Granny Murray take her down.

MrsBasterd · 16/09/2014 23:20

I would SO watch a Tumble Games foxsticks!!
