If a home is not found for bear, maybe he could choose a suitable museum to move into? Then he could accept visitors  :D
I love that idea Angelfish

So do I     ;D ;D ;D
Best wishes HL

or Bristol Airport could have  a glass case/stand  made for teddy and it could be placed in a strategic spot where passengers mingle? who knows what would happen.

Hi! I'm not posting with news on the teddy - but I just wanted to share that at the moment PortsmouthCity Museum has a temporary exhibition of teddies - a must for teddy lovers who live near Portsmouth! I took my two boys today and they loved it.

Hi,

Just wondered if there's been any progress?

If details can't be disclosed that's understandable but would be nice to know if the work people have put in has done any good (I don't include myself in there).

Are they close to finding the rightful owner basically?
