    Is it true that Podge was based on Sister Anna from St.Davids???
    I mean the similarity is inescapable!

    that was the rumour in St. Davids when Podge first appeared on The Den.

    The guys who do Zig & Zag & Podge & Rodge are locals but I don't know if they actually went to David's.

    Ah bettystown. I read an interview with them years ago in the Drogheda independent and presumed one of them was from the local area.

    Mr Morrison and his brother went to St.Davids in Greystones (I also believe that the charachters could be based on the late Sister Anna). Both grew up to become famous charachters on RTE2. Ciaran-"Rodge" and Joey-"Dustin" both at present reside in Greystones.
