Forget Brexit, Fireman Sam is not wanted!

[vowels]

Lovely story on the BBC.

Lincolnshire Fire Brigade have a problem recruiting female members and feel it is because Fireman Sam is not a diverse enough mascot.

They say that there is research that states children form ideas of their chosen career at four or five and having Sam as their mascot is discouraging girls from dreaming of being a firefighter.

Surely you must read this article and think, they need to get a grip.

My three loved Fireman Sam, they all had firefighter costumes and all had visits to the fire station. All loved it when the fire engine was brought to nursery and school for visits.

My girls preferred Sam because they both wanted to drive Jupiter. My son, Penny because she drove the rescue boat. And all loved Naughty Norman Price.

So, the important question of the day, is Fireman Sam still relevant?(the answer should be yes)
