Tubby Bye Bye

Farewell, Tinky Winky You were purple, with a red Handbag in your tinky hands And hanger on your head And you taught a generation To say 'Uh Oh' to the sky Tubby Bye Bye Tinky Tubby Bye © Gail Foster 23rd January 2018

I hated the telly tubbies when my son was little as I thought they encouraged children to speak badly eh oh and all that - arghhhhhhh. I read the sad news of Tinky Winkys demise but had to smile I mean who knew who was actually in those ridiculous costumes lol. Thanks for sharing Gail:-) hugs jan xx

Thank you for the read and the comment, Jan. I was quite snobby about the Tellytubbies but kids loved them, and they were kind of funny and cute. I much preferred the Clangers and The Herbs myself! Best wishes to you x
