Apparently after his girlfriend died, he used to spend every night at her mum's house, and she could never sleep because he'd keep her awake crying all night.

Deee-pressing.

Indeed. The drugs didn't kill him. His broken heart did.

Of course, the neck didn't help either.

(Sorry.)

...Have you ever seen a small bear with a suitcase?

Yes. There's a statue of one.

Is there really!
I don't know that I've ever been to Paddington.

Didn't Jeremy Clarkson's Auntie create Paddington Bear?

How very random.

I seem to recall a statue. I'll have a peek when I'm next there.

Tomorrow, obviously.

I think you'd remember, surely?

It's shit, really.

Not enough benches and loads of people handing leaflets for department stores or handing out free Baby Bells.

Actually, it was Clarkson's mum who created Paddington. Apparently, she wrote the original stories to read to him.

That's cool.

They couldn't flog Baby Bells if they were givi...

Nevermind...

In which case, what was Michael Bond's role in all this?

Mark Speight's death - Jeremy Clarkson's mum and Paddington Bear. Yep, I can see the link there.

I'll take a photo of Paddington's statue tomorrow zooo, just for you.

And Seefacts, National Rail, in all of their wisdom, have decided to spend their money not on fixing the leaks IN THE FUCKING ROOF (Angry), but to move the seating around and put in ticket barriers to all of the platforms. How f**king convenient for us passengers. We can slip up and break our necks, but we won't be surrounded by people who haven't paid! :)

As you can tell, I'm not pleased.

Oh, and as I understood it, Clarkson's mum only made the toys? I think? She didn't actually create the whole thing.

I dunno, I'm not a bear story geek.

What station do you normally come into when visiting from the country, oo ar my lover etc? Waterloo?

Mark Speight may have 'morphed' into Tony Hart through time but alas we will never know.

Give that man a marmalade sandwich. Not bad for a non-bear story geek.
