    Yes, yes yes!! I can’t stand that Mayor in Paw Patrol and mutter awful things under my breath when I see her. Plus, she’s always losing the god damn chicken so not really responsible if you ask me!

    Why are all the girls bossy ? Peppa Pig and my pet hate “Little Princess’ – why is she always in a nightie ? I love Katie Morag though… who knew Granny’s could be tom-boys. Great post – fun to read. Flop is wise because Flop is Mark Rylance.
