Plain Talker Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Yeah, she used to be on something else, was it that Queen's nose kids thingy about the 50p? I just WiIki'ed "The Queen's Nose" series, thinking it might have been her younger sister, who is also an actor, but there's no mention of HW, or the sister, Perdita, appearing in that series. (Though the little girl has a similar sort of look, with strawberry blonde hair) She and Perdita were both in "Catherine Cookson's The Rag Nymph" playing the same character at different ages, and they were both also in a children's TV series called "Goggle-Eyes", from 1993, which I don't recall ever seeing.

Nagel Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I seem to remember being told as a lad that the American Indians used to name their kids after the first thing they saw when exiting the teepee. Imagine if they did that one the manor. Imagine how many kids would be named, Two Dogs Shaggin or KFC? In the Eightes worked with an American with American Indian roots who was named after his parents first words after being born. His name was Sh-thowdy. Honest-to-god truth, it's not made up!
