Enid Blyton created some insufferable characters. Like the Famous Bloody Five. That pompous git Julian who always thought that he should be in charge, just because he was older than everybody else and he was a boy ffs.
And that weird bad tempered George girl pisses me off, always pretending to be a boy because she thought they were better at everything than girls.
. Why did they all put up with that shit? And how could she get away with it anyway -she was supposed to be about 12 or 13 wasn't she, so she would have had boobs FGS!
And Anne always gives me the rage too, being so bloody wet, getting excited about keeping house and always clearing away and washing the fucking pots up! Get a grip ffs and make the others do their share!
Dick was probably the best of them, but all he thought about was food! And why was every picnic ham sandwiches, tomatoes, and bloody hard boiled eggs? Who the hell takes hard boiled eggs on a picnic?
And another thing they must have been weighed down with all the bloody crap they carried round with them in their pockets. Torches, matches, pens, maps, money, string, chalk, you name it they had miraculously got whatever they needed to get them out of a fix!
Funny thing is I loved those books as a child.
