I found what looks like one in the car park at the back of my house. Expected it was dropped by the grandchild of a woman who lives opposite but it wasn't.
Hung it up for anyone who may have lost it to see, along with a duck found in the same place a couple of years ago. No-one seems to want them.

Ahh yes, Peppa Pig's new baby sister - it was big, big news... She's called Evie and was a well-kept secret until she arrived...

Be careful what you wish for!

Fireman Sam used to be relatively inoffensive,

They've "brought it back" as a new version, computer animated and just awful!

Thomas now bounces up and down and jumps between tracks....

Isn't it just :evil: Ditto Thomas... Britt Allcroft and the Rev. A W Awdry must be fairly spinning in their graves...

Winnie the Poo has been a bit 'transformed' too - since the yanks got their evil paws on him and his pals... It's all got a bit twee...

Bluey's OK though. She and her family remain a one of Autumn's big favourites :) The Aussies have always done some good children's (and adults) programmes...

Definitely! A while back Radio 4 did just that for a special one-off series - it was good :) Around Christmas-time if I recall correctly.

Going by how much litter there is nowadays compared to the 70s I fear we'd need millions of Wombles to deal with it all :twisted:

That is a real pain. The first closure is bang on my route to Jim's on that morning for our next trip at the exact time I would have been going through. A change of route is called for !! :evil:

Indeed. I'm being pilloried by all my cycling friends for my absolute temerity for not delaying my holiday to observe this auspicious occasion...

To be honest, I couldn't care less. I NEED to get away for a few days and I'm a sports participant and not a spectator. I have no wish whatever to struggle for half a day through crowds to get to a spot where I'll spend five seconds watching a bunch of cyclists zoom past in a blur... I'd rather watch grass grow...

No, I'd far rather - by several orders of magnitude - be with you Mick, zooming our way northwards ;)

Things are not too happy here at the moment and having a bit of a break from it is being very much looked forward to :D

Well I'm glad I warned you about it, it's one thing watching it on the TV, completely different feeling when it messes up your travel plans.
