wellies

The wellies have been there since the ip edit on 24 Sept 2005, so without any new citation, the top hat looks like the more recent vandalism. Suggest rv to the more long-standing claim and tag as a fact. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:44, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A source for the wellies seems to have been provided in the eleven years since the above post.Romomusicfan (talk) 11:38, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, has it? Which one is that? Not sure this one is strong enough, although it does mention his cross-dressing. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:31, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Origins of Sweep

On the official Sooty website from the early 2000s there was a short bio of each puppet. Sweep's claimed that he was born in Guiseley, but I have no citation or evidence of this. It would be great to have some further information about his origin story.Fiveminutes (talk) 12:11, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
