isnt it obvious?
the nation would see a spate of cats being put in ovens by their owners -
hoping to 'cookie' one of their own.

Yes, at least Socks only get locked inside bedroom furniture.

I once knew some people who had a cat named "Rover".

better than calling it 'Lada'

When my younger daughter was about 9 she named her kitten Blackie (because
he was black and she was an unimaginitive child). After the children had
been discussing their pets a young Brownie leader took me on one side and
suggested that the name was 'inappropriate' because their was a negro child
in the group. I'm afraid I swore at her.

At the time it did not occur to me to say anything about the the name
'Brownies' .

Rumours I have heard say viewers choice was "Pussy",
not "Cookie"!

As for Petra, I am devestated - only discovered the truth
this week :-(

What makes the BBC think that it is going to get back the confidence of
its viewers when the producers of Blue Peter have been deceiving their
audience for decades before Phone-ingate and Pussygate, or do they think
we have forgotten Petragate?

Why wasn't the first Blue Peter producer sacked when she replaced the
original Petra with another puppy from the same breed when the original
Petra died only days after she first appeared on the show without telling
the viewers who were kept in the dark until both Petra's were dead? The
even went so far as erecting a bronze stature of the fake Petra in the
Blue Peter garden!

And how is bringing on another kitten on the show and calling it Cookie
going to satisfy the people who voted for that name to be given to the cat
now called Socks. It's yet another deception. It's the producers who
decided to call the current cat Socks and them again who have decided on
the name of the new cat Cookie, not the viewers. Cookie isn't the viewers
name choice for the new cat, it's their choice for the current cat. Why
are the viewers not being given the chance to name the new cat without
intervention from the producer yet again? How about they sack this
producer too.

From what I've read (in The Independent, I think) it wasn't ever Cookie.
It was voted as Pussie. Cookie is just a euphemistic substitute.

In which case they're still lying about it.

Mind you, there are far worse things going on. I have it from good
sources that in reality there's no such place as Walford and that many
of the people who live there are actually being portrayed by
semi-professional actors.

God knows where this will end. If he exists. It's no good asking Songs
of Praise.

Ah hah! So I'm the only one who knows the proper answer to that.

It's like this: the name "Cookie" when given to a cat is short for "Cooking
Fat", and I'm sure with a little imagination you'll be able to work out:

a/ why it's such a popular name for cats
b/ why Auntie wasn't so keen on it for the Blue Peter cat!

I remember my dad relating a tale about a cat that was so named
(Cooking Fat) some 40 odd years ago. The name came about, apparently, on
account it was in the habit of getting underfoot causing the victim to
exclaim "Cooking Fat!" (or words to that effect :-).

It's actually Borehamwood, in Herts, not even London! We are having

In that case the current Blue Peter producer should also be sacked.
