To think that Pontypandy would be a better place if Norman left?

[Notmyuser]

Now I’m not suggesting Sam stops rescuing Norman … but …

Does anyone else detest him? He is insufferable.

I wouldn't know. Can't listen to any of their voices.

My DS doesn't watch it now as he is older but even after a couple of years I still fucking hate Norman. Sam should well leave him to die

I feel a bit sorry for Norman, he’s got absolutely nothing going for him, love him.

He is however very annoying!

Suspiciously similar hair to Sam......

That was my theory to PP. Norman must be Sam's love child

Norman is the worst!!!!!!

Rather than employing so many firemen for such a small village, why not just hire one person to follow Norman around and stop him being a dangerous idiot?

Don't get me started on how much money Adventure Bay wastes on the Paw Patrol

I think Norman is Fireman Sam's love child - there aren't any other gingers in the village.

Edit: clearly not an original thought then 😁

Yes, I think that’s generally believed. Clearly someone with power is protecting Norman, otherwise he’d be in Borstal.

Poor kid. Arson is the only way he can get attention from his real Dad.

I’m mind blown. It explains a lot.

I still hate him though.

I'm very surprised he hasn't been sent to the School for Naughty Boys.

The problem is that without Norman they'd lose a lot of their funding, and they'd probably just be left with Elvis in a volunteer role. In some ways he does them a favour...

I refuse to watch Fireman Sam and don’t let my kids watch it as I feel the other two brats exclude Norman. Probably cause he is ginger.

Hard to avoid that conclusion! But do we assume Norman was the result of a single drunken fumble, or are Sam and Dilys at it like knives, but there’s some obstacle to them being out about their relationship? One or both married?

I wholeheartedly agree OP!! He's got to be one of the most annoying characters ever.

Yes. We all hate him in our house.

That is the only explanation as to why he hasn't let him be engulfed by flames!

I think it was a drunken knee trembler that Sam wishes to forget ,but he's forever reminded by Norman's, " but Mam " whiney voice
I can still hear that voice and ds 1 is 18 this year!

I always thought Paw Patrol were volunteers.
Adventure Bay doesn't seem to have a human police force or fire service.

I do feel that younger parents are missing out, as you don't get to watch the old style Fireman Sam! Eg the one with Dilys and her friend calling Trevor Evans "awful manful!!"

Well, it appears to be governed by a mayor who is advised by a chicken who lives in her handbag, sooo…?

I always assumed their council tax was so high because of all the emergency calls / helicopters being launched mostly due to Norman!

I remember this being part of a conversation on MN when DS and I were watching Fireman Sam - and DS is 22 now!
