sephjnr Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 "Windy Miller" was a character from a children's puppet show, Camberwick Green (I preferred Trumpton though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest butterflybairn Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 has he dyed his hair red yet or is he waiting for your championship party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neo Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 has he dyed his hair red yet or is he waiting for your championship party? Not yet but I fully expect it soon along with Wilkshire who seems to sport a very similar mistake on his heed (says the virtually bald man). Perhaps there's more to Miller and Wilkshire than meets the eye? In that case, Millers nickname could be "Joey" As for the championship party; it appears to have started in some quarters (not blue & white ones obviously). Let's hope it is not too premature (as Lukey says to Joey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest butterflybairn Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 i believe he had it red at one falkirk game last year so there might be a half empty tub of hair dye still kicking about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitey_03 Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 he put a blue streak through it last year!!

Guest Mr Snufflelufagus Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 From BBC website Windy Miller Windy lives at Colley's Mill, which is just outside Camberwick Green. The railway runs nearby. Windy makes home brew cider, and whittles wood. When going into or out of his windmill he amazingly always manages to miss the sails. Windy is rather old fashioned and very superstitious - he believes in whistling for the wind, and touching a sweeep's collar for luck. He keeps a cow for milk, and free range chickens for eggs. He is referred to as "Mr. Miller" on several occasions. "Windy Miller I like the home brew cider!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've got a picture of him but don't know how to post it.

Robbored Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 "Windy" Miller goes much further back than Camberwell Green. Its a common nickname originating from windmills being used to to mill wheat."Dusty" is nother nickname associated with the surname Miller. Its like people with the surname White being know as "Chalky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simez Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 <----- Look there's Windy Miller in my avatar, I doubt if Lee's ever seen Camberwick Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grannyjoy Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Your right Simez, he had no idea who Windy Miller was or Camberwick Green for that matter. Think he was more of a, "He Man", "Skelator", and "Shera" child. ( He man the cartoon character, no reference to his build of course) Tee Hee.

edson Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I want to start the " Get Lee Miller A New Nickname Campaign " Any suggestions??? How about 'Drafty'? This works in two ways (bear with me): 1. As in 'Miller Draft'. 2. 'Drafty' as in 'windy'. It's ok, I didn't even bother taking me coat off.

RedM Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 When going into or out of his windmill he amazingly always manages to miss the sails. So I wasn't the only child sat there waiting for him to get hit over by his sails then? It sounds like Roberts has some competition in the hair department as well as on the pitch. It only goes to confirm my beliefs that footballers have too much time on their hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
