Who is Your Alter Ego?

“What a lovely picture of an orange........oh, it’s mummy...” Brilliant woman!

I’m known as Mrs T or Maggie in the family......can’t think why?!

I like to see myself as the tall glamorous actress Tamsin Grieg with lovely hair, elegance and clever witticisms.
IRL I'm short, dumpy and quiet.

Absent, your comment made me want to revisit the Joyce Grenfell YouTube clips. The little boy I could recall with his finger in the keyhole was Sydney not Stanley in the Free Activity clip. They are still so funny. Little kids don't change much. ?

Marmight George, [not Stanley] don't do that! Unforgettable – or not. Do you have a grandson called Stanley? If so, you are wholly absolved of your mistake.

I think that I might be Hannibal Lecter . I study people , listen to them , try to psycho analysis them then sometimes bite them .

Gillybob, could you not be Ermintrude, of Magic Roundabout fame.? She's not a miserable cow, and neither are you! She is really rather cute, chewing her flower. ?

My friend was Joyce Grenfell (at work anyway, in the nursery sketch).

Marmight your Stanley reference made me chuckle. I still recall him getting his finger stuck in the keyhole. Joyce Grenfells monologues took you so completely into those little worlds. She was brilliant.
My alter ego has been Elizabeth Bennett ever since reading P and P for the first time when I was 12. I feel quite aggrieved that it now seems the whole world has adopted her. She's mine!

I think Little Dolly Daydream tried to ride a horse - I think your Dad was using poetic licence!

Joyce Grenfell.
Stanley..... don't do that

In our family we have given ourselves characters from Lord of the Rings. I am a Hobbit ( short and homely) dh a dwarf (short and grumpy) dd is an elf (tall and slim) and ds is an orc ( very dark colouring and very grumpy at times)! We also, at times, refer to ourselves as characters from Winnie the Pooh. I am piglet (a bit of a worrier) dd is tigger (full of bounce) and ds is Eeyore ( pessimistic).
We do love ds by the way!

My elder son said I am like the actress Patricia Hodge’s character as Miranda’s mum. Funny,as I wanted to be called Grandma as I saw myself as Grandma in the Giles cartoon!

I think maybe I am just a one off?

I have tried googling miserable cow characters in their 50's and so far no luck.

jalima Do you remember that song
‘Little Dolly Daydream tried to ride a bike
She tumbled off, she tumbled off...’
I once tried googling it & nothing came up so perhaps Dad just made it up

I’m afraid it would have to be no nonsense Stephanie Cole!

I was 'Dilly Daydream' too according to DM - or 'Calamity Jane' (that's me )

I would really like to be Kate Adie, intelligent, sensible, decisive and adventurous.
And blonde with lovely hair.

I've been compared to Wendy Craig more than once,
particularly in Butterflies.

My dear OH calls me Delia Smith as my baking is legendary! If I was male I'm sure it would be King Arthur!

My last boss called me his "Indiana Jones" as I was always getting him out of trouble and sticking up for him in meetings . He was a very weak man so someone had to do it.

I've been told I am like " nan " the character portrayed by Catherine Tate ! ? and yes I can let rip with some fruity language

I ve been to.d I look like Denise welsh but I ve neither her money or her great love of alcohol

I've been told I'm Sandi Toksvig! I'll take that tbh

Mrs Overall?

People say I am like Julie Walters, I can see the resemblance myself. I’m like the waitress in some her sketches. People are too kind and polite to say that, so they just say “oh your like Julie Walters’

As a child I was known as Dolly Daydream.
It wasn’t meant in a nice way either
