The Dingle family are an integral part of Emmerdale<\/a>. Well, without them, the village would be pretty much empty, and very, very quiet.\u00a0Known for their criminal ways and fierce loyalty to one another, it takes a special type of person to risk getting on the wrong side of a Dingle.<\/div>

Tonight in Emmerdale, Charity tried to give Sarah a \u2018true Dingle experience\u2019, when she took her out in a seemingly stolen sports car. This got us thinking, what is a \u2018proper Dingle\u2019?<\/div>\n

All about the Dingle family<\/h2>\n
\n
The Dingle family was first introduced in 1994, with Ben Dingle being the very first Dingle to arrive in the village. From then on, the Dingles have continued to expand and are now the biggest family in the Dales.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n
Many, many characters have married into the family, from Moira<\/a> to Mackenzie. Dingle weddings are always a big occasion, with the entire family coming together. The latest Dingles to tie the knot are Mandy and Paddy \u2013 luckily, they won\u2019t have to go through the hassle of changing their surnames.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Dingles are known for causing chaos in the village and are very protective of another. While you can\u2019t question their family loyalty, you can definitely question some of their actions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, what makes a proper, authentic Dingle?<\/div>\n

Drink from \u2018the welly\u2019<\/h2>\n

Like many other families, the Dingles have their traditions. One of their non-negotiable traditions is drinking from \u2018the welly\u2019.<\/p>\n

This occurs whenever someone new is welcomed into the Dingle family. They are made to drink from a rubber Wellington boot, while the other family members cheer them on.<\/p>\n

The details behind the odd tradition are not known, but every new Dingle has been made to drink from the welly since they arrived in the Dales. From Caleb to Tracy, they\u2019ve all taken a sip from the welly.<\/p>

The Dingle Code<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s often referred to as the \u2018Dingle Code\u2019 or \u2018Dingle Rules\u2019 in Emmerdale, but essentially the Dingles have a strict system they all follow.\u00a0The rules are quite simple; you can lie, cheat, steal or worse, as long as it is not against another Dingle.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div>\n

You must also never grass on another Dingle, especially not to the police.\u00a0Should you break the Dingle Code, you\u2019ll have to face the Dingle Court, or worse.<\/p>
