In many areas of the UK, lollipoppers are considered a part of history - and Churchill Insurance wants to introduce extra lollipop men and women across Great Britain to help keep children safe.

Thinking back to your experience of lollipop men and women, what do you think makes a good lollipopper? Was it essential to you that they had a cheery disposition as they so often do? Or were you only concerned with their knowledge of road safety? Is there anything that sticks in your mind about your lollipopper?

Share your thoughts about what you think makes the best lollipopper possible below.

All GNers who share their thoughts on lollipoppers on this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 voucher.

The Churchill Lollipoppers are coming! You can keep up to date with the Churchill Lollipopper campaign at www.churchill.com/lollipoppers

Our lollipop lady literally lives at one end of the crossing, in a lovely little bungalow with roses in bloom. She wakes up, has a cup of tea and marmalade on toast, puts on her yellow uniform and goes to work (she has said this a number of times!). She is friendly but also very firm (but fair). She's always at the crossing rain or shine to help the children cross the road safely& insists the kids fully concentrate when they cross. Some days you see her give her husband indoors a little wave. She's lovely& I completely trust her to get everyone across the road safely. She's called Karen. Thank you Karen!

Apart from the obvious, being alert and keeping us and our children safe. A nice smile, we used to have a lovely lolliepop lady called Linda, she was so friendly we used to even take her sandwiches!

They needed to have a good rapport with the children. Ours was always cheery and passed a comment as we went by. Always taught the children to respect her and say thank you.

Only grumpy when faced with dangerous idiot parking affecting her ability to do her job.

Our local lollipop lady is a total sweetheart. She knows almost all the children by name. She's super happy and smiley and pleasant. She encourages the children in road safety and always raises a smile. There should definitely be more like her.
