Yes I saw it... (me being sick and poorly ill)...I nearly fell off me chair!
I was going to post it Jasper, but got side tracked....

I am glad you went to the auction and bought him , he is indeed a very special bear, you couldn't just 'not'!

.........are you going to leave him 'as is' or, restore him?.......

Oh, and you 'presented' your knowledge very well Jasper most impressed....

Fozzie

Hi Fozz, he's already been well restored, it look 7 cleans to get all the dirty out. He's now sat in our cabinet in our shop with an old sailor suit on and looks superb.

If you leave them 'as is' they just rot away cos they're so dirty.

Awwww, so glad to hear he is now looking his best again....

I understand that he 'had' to be restored, with his ear hanging off, and his nose looking a bit poorly, and his paw pads.... oh and the dirt....

But didn't he have the most gorgeous face? .....even in the state he was in....

Had a couple of steiff bears work for me a few years back, good workers at the start but then they wanted to move up in the company.
I think there the sort of white collar bear and I'm more the blue collar type!also such heavy german accents! very hard to understand.

Anyways each to their own

My mums got loads of bears. Some steiff but mostly Deans.

Jasper said...They're £10 each now - but tell Jo she can have one for a plateful of Borstch (Can't spell it mind you!)
its barszcz and apparently ive had some and liked it

Is "cash in the attick" the one with that rough blond bint ? if so is she really that bad ?

A mate of mine who worked on one of her shows said she was a foul mouthed off camera.

Yup - Lorn Spicer - bit of a pain in the arse really, and defintiely foul mouthed! Paul - the other expert, is a decent chap though....
