Poddington Peas
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
An animation that first started to become popular around 1990 and carried on to be used as common ground for teenagers at the turn of the century.
The greeting goes something like this
1. Teenager meets another and greeting commences.
2. First teenager greats by using the standard first line of the opening song
'Down at the bottom of the garden'
3. 2nd teenager replies 'beneath the birds and the bee's'
Once this ritual has been performed the two have been bonded.
This ritual comes from the TV animation Poddington peas. The animation consisted of a colony of peas living at the bottom of a garden. they all share a similar name type. Examples being
Ha-pea,
Slee-pea,
Grum-pea,
ect.
They have adventures that mainly consisted of the evil 'Black-eye-pea' causing havoc and normally getting beaten by the Poddington peas.
However none of the teenagers can remember anything else other than the theme tune. Several theories have been put forward to suggest why this is.
ie.
Subliminal messages, hypnotic music ect.
None however have suggested as a really good tune.
