That's when anything happens in Trumpton. Your house can catch fire any other day of the week.

That would explain why Cptn Flack's lot only ever learnt one tune. I reckon that Bill Poster Nick sells them. He always seemed a wrong 'un to me.

Either him or Chippy Minton. Guy's a nutter.

Not just Chippy, Nibs too. He has a crush on Cuthbert (wants to join him in his box), but Miss Lovelace told once that homosexuals will go to hell, so he's repressing himself and the pent-up anger drives him mad sometimes.

It was him who broke the bench you know.

Who the heck's Nibs? Anyway the Pugh twins are a right pair of botty botherers so he's in good company.

Nibs is Chippy's son.

Flippin 'eck, he's too young for that sort of malarky. He'll grow out of it, surely. Must be the uniforms on those boys at Pippin Fort have given him notrite thoughts.

Do we actually know for sure that Nibs is Chippy's son?

He's never referred to as Nibs Minton - it's always 'Chippy Minton and Nibs', never 'Chippy and Nibs Minton'. I mean obviously he could have his Mum's surname if her and chippy weren't married or just living over the brush. Or he could be Chippy's nephew, or just a young friend. It's a mystery and no mistake.

That's a fair point. The three live in a semi- adjoining Mrs Cobbett, so Chipp & Mrs Minton are certainly guardians, if nothing else. But as to actual proof,...don't recall any.

Raggy Dan was always a wrong'un. There was always something not quite right in Trumpton. Episode titles included:

"Miss Lovelace and the Mayor's Hat" (as in "she had a fanny like the mayor's hat" - i.e. wide, 3 sided and made of felt) and

"Mrs Cobbit, the Ice Cream Man and the Branch". Mrs Cobbit was a florist so was she having her bush trimmed?
