Was Postman Pat set in Yorkshire or Cumbria?

Another voting section. Again, PLEASE don't use sockpuppets. VFD has been taken the wrong way in the past because of sockpuppetry.

Yorkshire

Those video packets never fool me. (Read the summary of my last edit to the article.) Scott Gall 10:39, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Cumbria

Greendale is in Cumbria. I have no problems with what Scott Gall believes, but me and Scott had an edit war over this back in April, and my sister agrees with me - Greendale is in Cumbria. [[User:NazismIsntCool|Template:NazismIsntCool/sig]] 05:27, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't know

Yes you do. Greendale was based on a Cumbrian village, but it's actually in Yorkshire. And the insertion of anything which I know not to be true constitutes vandalism.

Paul Goggins

There seems to be sum discussion as to the correctness of this statement. The government minister Paul Goggins revealed that his mother was the inspiration for the character of Mrs Goggins in 2004.

With some one claiming to be John Cunliffe. supporting it and a newspaper article below. [ This is not correct. I picked the name at random from the phone directory. John Cunliffe. ] http://politics.guardian.co.uk/columnist/story/0,9321,1496415,00.html Lets take it out untill it can be confirmed?Bedel23 July 5, 2005 08:54 (UTC)

Episodes to air in 2005?

The article states "Another set of 28 episodes has been commissioned, and will air in autumn 2005." Did this happen? --David Edgar 10:15, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the episode guide on tv.com [1], it seems it did, but in 2006. Changed to reflect this. 11:17, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

The Fring Family

Someone should remove that section about The Fring Family being characters in Postman Pat, as they don't exist. I've tried several times but some idiot keeps putting it back. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.93.21.134 (talk • contribs) .

Well, you've been removing other sections of the article too, and not using edit summaries. Google seems to agree (there are no results about 'Fring' and 'Postman Pat'), so I'll remove the section, unless anyone has evidence otherwise. --Fuzzie (talk) 11:00, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gaelic

I've changed the wording of the section about the Gaelic version. It previously seemed to suggest that the programme was only shown in Gaelic in Scotland. This is not true. The vast majority of the time we get the English version and only sometimes is the programme broadcast in Gaelic. I'm not sure how often but I believe it is pretty seldom and usually as part of another Gaelic programme. This is why (as the previous version which i edited stated) the BBC Scotland website lists it as "Postman Pat" and not "Pàdraig Post". --Thetriangleguy 17:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rude letters?

I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that it had recently been discovered that some of the envelopes shown in Postman Pat actually had obscenities written on them, which could be read with the aid of freeze-frame. But Googling turns up nothing. ANyone else remember this and can supply a link? 143.252.80.110 19:26, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Has the ring of an urban myth, like the supposedly rude names on Captain Pugwash which were mentioned by lots of wry newspaper columnists for many years but turned out to be completely false (it wasn't even that difficult to check, all journalists had to do was watch an episode).

Mr Pottage

Mr Pottage appeared to exist in an old Postman Pat annual. I recall him being talked about but unsure whether he featured
