I remember wondering, when I got old enough, if Getafix was called that because he always fixed things, or if it was an obscure reference to the Gorstedd Bards accusing other druids of being pagan potheads.
hahaha! I can relate to that, I was rather inept at some mothering skills. I think son may have asked for Asterix** I bought him Airfix.When we moved to Tottenham in north London, I bought him a Liverpool football kit (it had long sleeves and I thought it would keep him warm). He still lives in north London and still stoically supports Liverpool FC.
Apologies for being very off topic.
**PS: Just joking, my children had their fair share of Asterix books, I think they even borrowed them from the library.
