In my humble opinion, after years of being on RC and seeing/contributing to many threads, I think that this thread should be locked until any more info is available. Otherwise, we'll be going round and round.  The whole thing is getting daft/ridiculous and any other adjectives that we might think of.

I personally think that the double meaning of the term "Daddie" in a relationship may be confusing the meaning of the words on the postcard.

I posted an update in the belief that people would leave it at that until any new information came in regarding ownership...the constant references to "Is it isn't it" the same bear to me is irrelevant and doesn't add anything to what has already been said....the necessary information to further  this enquiry is being lost and once again it is necessary to go back to read what is relevant.

Oh, I dunno, maybe it greatly augments RC advertising revenues.  Maybe the administration staged the whole thing just for that purpose.  At any rate, there are certainly other long-lived threads that are equally "daft/ridiculous" or more so.

43 pages is pushing it some and interesting though its been enough is enough until more info is forthcoming. I've read it all, followed the discussion and admire rootschatters for their discoveries but to continue is to keep going over old ground is pointless until and unless what has been found is confirmed.

The 'same bear' issue was of a personal interest as I would love to know if he was the same bear, but I fear alas he is a different bear. I posted my pic and I rest my case.

I've been following this thread with great interest, but haven't been able to contribute to it.

But I do agree with those that have said that the discussion is beginning to go round in circles. It's almost inevitable when a thread gets as long as this. I do think should now be locked until more information on progress 'behind the scenes' is available.

If anyone else comes up with more information that they think is of real value to the thread they can always contact Sarah or Trystan and ask them to add it if they think it worthwhile.

By the way, for what my opinion is worth, I agree with Pels that the 'airport bear' and the 'photo bear' aren't the same.

As this is a current news article (yet again in the newspaper) this topic is remaining open. There is a large discussion of this topic on social media sites, and this thread is being linked to and referenced to. That's brilliant :)

For those that don't wish to read the discussion if they feel it's going round in circles or that nobody else can possibly contribute anything to it, then fair enough. (Best keep that off this thread though  ;) ) It is unusual for us to allow topics to get this long, and it can be frustrating for some, but to others it's a facinating story with a real human interest.

Now, I wonder where my teddy is... :P

There was the photo from the Huffington Post and although Ann hasn't quoted the writing from the back of the photo it looks like she thinks the children are both girls because she goes on to say that it's not the most important event in the world but if anyone knows of two elderly sisters, possibly called Dora and Glyn - presume here she is thinking that Glyn is short for Glynis - can they get in touch with the kindly staff at Bristol Airport.

Ann gives the name of the bears spokeswoman and ends with the thought had he come from Darkest Peru.

The "Darkest Peru" would give reason to believe that "someone"!!!!! has ""INSIDE"" info?
