A bit lame really. On leaving primary school to go to the Secondary Modern we had to provide 'entertainment' at the end of term for the who had to endure further time with the Catholic Gestapo (Nuns)
Being 11 years old and very well read, we decided to do a sketch based on the 'Bash Street Kids' out of our favourite reading material 'The Beano'.
Well with Joey being a popular name for the little Australian Grass Parakeet ...... Voila..Budgie!
The odd thing is that my primary school, St Werburghs has been demolished and St Bede's is now known as Chester Catholic High and I am still Budgie. Could it have been something I said.
You can wake up now. I've finished.
