Apparently all the Golliwogs will reside in Townships in the remoter reaches of Toyland. PC Plod and his mates will make occasional visits to the Townships, armed with batons and tear-gas to make sure that everything is in order.

Golliwogs now dropped from new Noddy story

It is the first official new book to be written in more than 45 years.

But when Noddy returns to Toyland, he will be missing one of his best-known friends.
Author Sophie Smallwood, Enid Blyton’s granddaughter, has decided to banish golliwogs from the new tale in a bid to avoid controversy.

Fortunately not everyone subscribes to this PC nonsense by assuming offence where none is intended. The museum shop in Battle sells gollywog stuff too. Part of history.

Good Golly

Not meaning to offend anyone here, just reporting.

I found a shop in Darwin Australia called Alfreds, selling hardware and novelty items, right next to an Optomotrists. Naturally I thought of Alf and I got a piccie for the album.
So I goes over to look in the window, and just above the pizza cutter is a golliwog doll with a sign 'come inside and meet the rest of the the golly family'

the missus wouldn't let me

what have you got to say for yourself Alf ?
