Gooseman- Indeed, those days are now, I regret to say, a very very distant memory however.
The request for info. on this bear is actually on behalf of a friend of mine. I'm afraid he's going to be disappointed though, as I'm reliably informed his bear, without wanting to go into too much detail, was clothed head to toe in TOPGUN attire. I believe the bear you saw (quote): "...running across the street..." was naked? Ah well, we can but hope...
Saffer- As Chocks correctly points out, the demand in from Thomas Cook and NOT Thomsonfly, I believe the latter in fully crewed for the forthcoming season, although you holdpool guys are doubtless in a more knowledgable position than myself, so do correct me if I'm wrong.
