Did you leave Janice outside with a lemonade and a packet of ready salted or would s/he rather have sausage flavour?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate if your gender neutral nephew, had a gender neutral name like 'table' or 'washing machine', poor Janice must be very confused.

Surely goes against the whole ethos of cuddly toys. Youngest Potting's favourite cuddly toy is a large cuddly duck (imaginatively christened "Big Duck") who was "rescued" for a modest sum because he was looking lonely and forlorn in a Charity Shop window - well over 10 years ago!

Will they receive a Steiff sentence?
Where is the sausage SITE though, these are the questions that need to be answered...

Actually giant pandas ARE bears, of the family ursidae. Red pandas are not.

If Janice is gender neutral, then surely they aren't a 'he' or a 'she', simply a 'they', no?
Anyway, I hope they weren't too GRIZZLY they couldn't get a bear. That would be really POOH.

If he is gender neutral then how can he be his nephew?

If your child was 2 and you bought a £52 quid bear, you could have saved £50.
Minus the £11 difference in the cost of parking for 4-6 hours compared with parking for 1-2 hours. (Churchill Square prices)
So if you spent 5 hours to save £39:
National Living Wage is £7.83 an hour for anyone over 24.
5 hours work at that rate would earn you £39.15.
You could have gone to work for 5 hours, bought the bear at full price and been 15p up on the deal.*
* - (Okay you might have to pay tax and NI, but you wouldn't have to spend 5 hours with a bunch of fractious toddlers.)**
** - (Unless your job was in childcare)***
*** - (But then your kid could already have access to loads of bears anyway)

Not just British. I am in Fort Lauderdale and it is big news here. Some people queuing in 90° heat and 90-100° humidity for 48 hours! Just to get a $60 bear for $5, what a waste of two days!
