Why "Compo"?[edit]

Does anyone know the origin of the nickname? 70.27.7.118 (talk) 16:36, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Matchbox?[edit]

No mention of his ever-present matchbox - the contents of which he used to startle anyone foolish enough to look into it? Jock123 (talk) 17:25, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Family members[edit]

The relationships between Compo and the family members we see/ he mentions are virtually never outright stated; he makes numerous references to "our [name]" without it necessarily being clear that the person referred to is a sibling or other relative. Similarly, characters like Chip aren't specifically identified in terms of their relationship to Compo, even if others make (usually disparaging) reference to them being Simmonites/ sharing characteristics with Compo. In other words, the details in the infobox are virtually all speculation based on the ages of the characters shown and what they're LIKELY to be in relation to Compo, where no definitive statement was ever made in the episodes in which they appeared or elsewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.66.251 (talk) 14:44, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
