Aaahhh well I just happen to personally know the grandson of the creator, of the very gollywog you speak of. The name of this splendid little chap who dons our marmalade jars is simply GOLLYWOG. So don't listen to what names people give you cos it's simply not true hun. There was a factory in Sheff that made the jars and the labels. The history of this is a very sad story. But GollyWog lives on !!!!!!!!

Yes- someone can tell you the name of the Robertsons Gollywog. Does that answer your question?

It was called GOLLY and was only removed by the ridiculous people who said that it would give offence to coloured people. I've never YET met one who could give a monkeys toss about it, as it was meant to represent a cloth dolly, not a human being of any race, creed or colour. Well done, you PC pratts!

They are now called 'Robertson's Gollys', and not Gollywogs.
I am sorry but I don't know his actual name though.

Dont know the name, but I thought the word wog was derisory, until a much travel ed serviceman told me it means westernised oriental gentleman.
