    Pugh, Pugh, Hitler

    Sorry to interrupt everyone's enjoyment. Yesterday, someone posted with a very funny graphic in their signature block that showed the Trumpton Firemen with Hitler as the last one. Does anyone know who it was, or where I can get a copy?

    Pugh
    Hugh
    Barney
    McGrew
    Cuthbert
    Dibble
    and
    Grub (Hitler)

    It's actually:

    Pugh
    Pugh
    Barney McGrew
    Cuthbert
    Dibble
    and
    Grub (Hitler)

    The Pugh boys are twins, and 'Barney McGrew' is one person. I think I may have just confirmed Auld Yin's suspicions.

    Edited to add: And Barney McGrew is misidentified in the gif, he is the one with the beard!

    So how come two people used line up when Barney McGrew's name was called and after they lined up there was 8 of them (including the IC)?

    Well, you learn something new every day. I always thought it was Barney Mulgrew.

    Every day's a schoolday on ARRSE. Anyone remember the name of the Firemaster? He was the only one not named in the rollcall.
    We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.

    In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

    I think you'll find that the 'IC' was the venerable Captain Flack!
