Reading a copy of today's Metro (which contained a Judge Dredd strip written by Gordon Rennie with a topical Kilroy reference), and a-spyed the following letter:
"If you owned a factory and had the choice of oompa Loompas or Doozers (wee guys from Fraggle Rock) for the workforce, who would you choose?
David Knox, Glasgow"
What a great question fae Glasgae toon, city of culture. In answer to his question, I think the Oompa Loompa's just edge it for me, with their greater propensity for evil. But what does everyone else think?

I like Doozers, so I'd make the O-Ls work in the factory so the Doozers could relax.

Doozers. They're small enough that you could dissect one for fun and hide the evidence afterwards...

I do like the idea of crushing a doozer beneath my heel just because I could. Do I have a problem? I said I was more suited to the harsh, evil world of the Oompa Loompa...

NO! No retro cool. Just death, despair and the smell of burnt toast.

OOpas fir me, they sing better have a social life, get to test the mad druggy chocs that willie W invents and they get to run riot in the factory.
Personally I think this question is some sort of sectarian quiz, proddy work ethic vs chafflick guilt ( all that chocolate), contrast and compare, 2000 words by Friday and no debate PVS.
(Extra points for notes on Knox, socks on Fox, clocks on Blocks)
The Huff in The Hat

You can pinch a doozer's head betwixt thumb and forefinger until its face pops.

"Oompa Loompa jiggedy boo- I'll use your child's face as a shoe..."
Evil little bastards.
Doozers. You can hunt them with an air pistol. Or set the cat on them for fun!

this is the kind of important questions that need to be answered. if i paid taxes i would write to my MP about having this debated in parliment.
personally i would go with doozers,
you could save huge amounts of money on accomadation and food bills.

Why the UN hasn`t got round to this one, I`ll never know. I`d go with Oompa Loompas because I don`t know what Doozers are. Of course the singing would get me down after a while, but I wouldn`t have to spend so much time in the factory

Doozers have cute ickle tools and cool little hats and they all probably go to the pub after work and they have fantastic scaffolding skills!
Oompa Loompas are just slave clowns.
Eeeevil slave clowns.
Who look like Christina Aguglyleerara.

There are several Oompa Loompa's working for the makers of aftershock, so i guess they'd be busy. Did anyone else's local have a visit from the aftershock bus? Now THAT was a comedy night! I vote doozers, they're cute and probably do more work!
