By 'eck! - The Flumps were a family of sweet-natured furballs with distinct Yorkshire accents. There were six characters, Father Flump, Mother Flump, Grandfather and the three children, Perkin, Posie and young Pootle and stories focused on such gentle premises as getting vegetables to grow, fun with magnets, lending a hand, roller-skating, and keeping secrets. Grandfather was renowned for his ability to play his Flumpet, it was a cross between a trumpet and a horn which parped like a tuba. When he wasn't flumpeting, Grandfather would inevitably be dozing with his moustache breezing and his toes rippling with contentment as he snoozed. Perkin, meanwhile, was renowned for his moods, and was regularly heard sounding-off about the other Flumps, or situations.
