Erm,
1) Yes
2) Yes, they have.
The lines went a little quieter at times as there have been a number of countries at unrest that Bristol Airport had to advise passengers on, which is quite understandable.

The bear is safely at Bristol Airport again. It took a bit of a detour for an artist (another adventure for Mr Bear) - details will appear soon from Bristol Airport on this. The police were informed for some investigation to be progressed, however as living persons are involved there are things that I can't be reported at the moment.
Bristol Airport express their wholehearted thanks for all the help that we have provided here on RootsChat. The BBC have been made aware by Bristol Airport of the contribution that all on RootsChat have made in researching the owners of Mr Bear.
I'm terribly sorry if I appear a bit vague on this (even though we know very little more really), but the great news is that Mr Teddy is well and safe. Hopefully we'll have more positive news soon.
