Knew the two little birds one, the horsey horsey one, and the Banbury cross one, my Dad came from Buckinghamshire, just 3 miles from Buckingham and his grandmother came from Chipping Norton area. Also heard the flea one and the one you did with your fingers, to make a steeple, learned that in school I think.

Janice, just about yes,am 50...I think we would have got our first tv about 1961/2....remember vividly the first satellite (Telstar) broadcast from US....all 'snow' and crackle lol

apparently when we first had TV I would run and hide if there were any cars or trains on....thinking they might come out of the 'box' lol

Rambling Rose,

Horsey horsey was my favourite too.

Did you sing a second verse?

Horsey, horsey,
don't you stray,
we've done the journey many a day
your tail goes swish
and the wheels go round
giddy up, we're homeward bound.

Loved it as a little girl & I sang this to my three and was singing it today to my childminded toddlers.

loved jasper carrots record of majic roundabout. time for bed florence!

I loved Twizzle....................found this on a site

""Twizzle was a boy doll who ran away from a toy shop. He soon joined Footso, a little black cat with big paws. Together they built Stray Town, where all the stray toys in the world could go and live in peace, safe from a world where their young owners pulled them about and treated them badly.

In his many adventures, Twizzle met and made many friends.

Among them were Jiffy the Broomstick Man, and Chawky the white-faced Golliwog. With them were Polly Moppet, Candy Floss the momma doll, who couldn't say "momma", and Bouncy the ball who'd lost his bounce.

Twizzle was so called as he could extend, or rather 'cri.. crick" his arms and legs, and be tall as a lamp post, or even taller! Twizzle's pride and joy was his brick-red Breakdown Van, which he got off his garage mechanic friend in exchange for a sprite sportscar, given to him by a doll he had saved from a burning house. Footso liked the van better, too, as at least he had legroom!


Footso's Song

I'm Footso, the silliest cat,
When I walk, I always fall flat.
I've big yellow eyes and big flat paws,
I'm Footso the cat that Twizzle adores.

Meow, meow, prrr prrr
I'm the cat with the silkiest fur,
Four big paws and whiskers six,
I'm not very clever, but know lots of tricks.
Meow meow, that's my call,
I'm the silliest cat of them all.
When I sleep, I always dream
Of herrings and kippers and creamy cream.
Meow meow meow. ""

*sighs at the memories* :)))
