Pigeon or Budgie.....??

In the age old playground/back of the schoolbus/ trip bus song did Charlie have a pigeon or a budgie ???

Conducted a straw poll at work and home and it seems that depends on which side of the river you are from as to wether it was a pigeon or a budgie.....

nearly all residents of the Toon side of the river insisted that Charlie had a budgie.

ergo the residents from the Gateshead side of the water were on the pigeon side!!

( then a few spanners were thrown in from both sides who said it was Geordie that had the pigeon/budgie and not Charlie)

 

My personal view was that Geordie had a pigeon and Charlie had the budgie cos he couldn't afford a tomahawk !!!

 

Thoughts ???? :)

Version i was used to was:

 

Geordie had a pigeon, a pigeon, a pigeon

Geordie had a pigeon, a pigeon he had

He flew it by day and he flew it by night,

And when it came back it was covered in sh!te

Budgie ffs.

 

Pigeon is just so wrong. :)

And how many kids have a pigeon as a pet?

It was always Geordie had a pigeon in Walker and Byker.

 

As for keeping them as pets, my Grandad always raced them, as did my dad until very recently.

 

Proper fucking Geordies keep pigeons - fact :unsure:

 

Budgies are for puffs, my mate had a bright yellow one called connie until i sellotaped the fucka up, then he had a baldy pink one :)

A bright yellow budgies sounds like a canary, you cruel bastard! ;)

 

I know people race pigeons but not kids - which is what I presumed Charlie was.
