:-D :-D :-D Allan

Can I just say, the right wing British National Party - BNP - (formed in 1982) stole their name!

I was looking at a doll I've had since I was 1 year old, with a view to repairing it (my elder brothers used it to practice 'drop kicks').
I wondered whether Amanda (I have no idea why I called her that!) had a makers name - she did. 'BND'. Upon further research, I found out this stands for 'British National Doll'.

So, either my doll was the original right wing, racist, fascist,(In which case my brothers are forgiven) or the BNP stole their name - from a doll making company! :-D :-D

Researching:
Henry Floyd (g x 4 grandad) Allegedly the heaviest man in England in 1842

What about Groucho?

Allan Report 24 Jul 2020 22:02

Groucho came from a different branch of the family which never quite agreed, with what Karl and his mates were doing.

That side of the family was the good Marx
