"Bear" has a French name: "Nounours".

There was a lady who used to post here called Jenbel she had Sheep. He was called Sheep because he was one. A friend of mine met them both at. London Do where what seemed like half the FT and the illustrious Community Director (😁now not then) went for tea in a boat in November. The BA Forum distinguished themselves by consuming every bottle of Champagne on board (that at least has not changed) at this tea party.
Not long after that, in a pan act of inadvertence Sheep was left behind in a taxi in Edinburgh, and Jenbel who was young and very intelligent , but who had last seen 21 on someone’s front door, was inconsolable. Since Sheep had plastic tags round his neck, I think that someone found him and kept him. I never heard if he ever showed up again.
I well recall my best best friend who is the keeper of two highly travelled bears ( one called Dyogenes who has posted here (£5 with purchase Gatwick Duty Free) and Smokey from Minnesota found himself, thanks to the Upgrade Fairy, flying to DFW in F. Dyogenes and Smokey sat in 5 A, whilst a gentleman, who had long graduated to solid food, had a Lion. The two managed to turn the F cabin into a nursery. The cabin only had two other passengers who probably never saw this and were untroubled. The pair of them were bonkers and I love it. Pink Bears, Blue Bears, Lions and Tigers (Oh my) are forever. I don’t have one. I have a husband. I might fare better with the bear, they don’t argue back.

There's seem to be a number of travelling bears on Instagram. I found some of those accounts quite funny to follow.

I assume these are not run by children.

There is a lovely lady called Alison who shares her BA travels with her bears mischievous Amy and Wilbur - staff members always seem to assist in some great photos and they often appear on Facebook.
Hoping pink bear is found.

We fly back on Thursday, arriving into LHR early evening. As soon as we land, we (or perhaps just me...) will head to the Lost & Found office at T5 to find out whether the reunion will take place.
Good news or bad, I'll update the thread here as soon as possible!
