hillsbro Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 When did they stop selling them?...The last edition mentioned in the Wikipedia article is that of 1995, but according to a contributor "RachJP" to this thread it was re-started in 2004.

Steptoad Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 When did they stop selling them? I think it's "raggers" btw. Don't know, but the last one I bought was 1981 and it seemed to be very racist and sexist even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soft ayperth Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Don't know, but the last one I bought was 1981 and it seemed to be very racist and sexist even then. It was always like that steptoad but done in a Monty Pythonish kind of way that didn't seem to upset people. Did the PR police step in, I wonder?

soft ayperth Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 If you take Monty Python seriously, the funny walks routine could be interpreted to poke fun at disabled people, the dead parrot scene could be an issue for the RSPCA, or the rat pie skit could receive objections from the Department of Health. Most of us look beyond all that and see the funny side of it. That's how I used to remember the Twikker in the 60s. Hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
