    You mean a teddy like this one? :)

    Yes. Though an old version with pale fur. It's a very English thing keeping your teddy bear. Must be some sort of insecurity. Though my husband hasn't kept one but he was always more into mechanical things. Still is. That one is far too new to be Rowan Atkinson's real teddy bear. They should be a bit worn.

    I'm not ashamed to admit I've still got several of my old stuffed toys packed away, including my first teddy bear. My sister still has Mr. Security Blanket, too. It's not an English thing exclusively. ;)

    I still have a stuffed squirrel... he is stuffed full of cheese and bacon... I don't suppose it is the same thing though.
    Not so much a loving reminder of my childhood as trying to avoid a trip to the grocery store... I was going to serve him up to my friends telling them it was squab... they didn't buy that... I think it was the tail... I probably should have done something about the fur too.... and the branch he was still clinging to probably didn't help either.

    Also have a stuffed squirrel. A gift from somebody I nearly married many years ago. We have real ones outside in the trees. The university has an albino squirrel but I've never seen it. Maybe it's a myth.

    There was something in the press a while back saying there's a shop in London that sells squirrel meat. Why not? You can get rabbit in the supermarket. That's grey squirrel as the red ones are rare and protected.

    I got a gollem statue that I got for free with a dvd, a piggy bank shaped as a jacket (empty :( ), 2 manga schoolgirls (What? It was a gift from Japan :D ) and 6 toy cars parked on my speakers :red:

    Do Flowcharts count as toys?

    I still have my teddy bear, which was terribly old and worn when I inherited him. He'd lost all his fur, and had been patched any number of times. Of course, I didn't help any as I also repaired him ... quite unskillfully! I had a stubborn, independent streak even as a child, so did it myself instead of asking my mother to fix him.

    Even then, he was the bestest teddy bear. He has a molded muzzle unlike the new teddy bears.

    I'm almost afraid of asking how he got stuffed...... :bug:

    Then it must go back a long way. No wonder there are so few toys found in excavations. Everybody kept them for generations. I have tiny china dolls that belonged to my grandmother. Sailors used to bring them back from the Far East for their families. I like all these things that remind me of my lost home.

    I only have one toy...and it's very special as its a recrafted barbie that was designed as a rogue character complete with a knife attached to her leg. She was made for my daughter and I by a Canadian friend that I know online.

    I have about 7-8 transformers on my desk, a griffon sculpture, and my tablet. And once I find a 1/72 or so Object 704 or Object 268 (Soviet tank destroyers), that'll join them. :D

    If I had the money that project deserves and could talk her into it I'd be over there begging as we speak. ;)
