I've name changed as I'm sure when word gets round it will be very outing. We will use "pom bears" as a term of reference for how long I've been here 😂

A large bear has appeared in my brother in laws drive. In his parking space.

Very handsome, but very large 😂

No idea who dropped him off. Or even how I missed him being dropped off. (We face his drive). 😂😂😂😂

Ring the garden centre and ask them if their bear has escaped. Tell them you think you've seen it sat on you brother's drive having a beer. Then report back here with their response.

this is so fabulously batshit Grin

BillyBobBear · 21/07/2022 17:27

DC have decided they don't like his hat.

He now owns a very fetching fez. 😂

@Wineat5isfine i am also in a neighbouring village... 😂😂😂

Is your BIL mixed up with the local gardening-mafia? (Is this their version of the horse's head in the bed?)

TidyDancer · 21/07/2022 17:27

Omg this is brilliant! I need to know what's happened! Has he been stolen? By whom? Did he used to live at the garden centre? Is he possessed?

BillyBobBear · 21/07/2022 17:27

They do sell very nice out door tables.

DBIL IS BACK.

Poor lost bear, does he have the bear essentials with him? 🤣

PrawnGoDookaDooka · 21/07/2022 17:28

I hadn't realised a bear statue could give you nightmares. That's truly evil.

MrsReeves · 21/07/2022 17:28

He is glorious 🐻

Pickanameforme · 21/07/2022 17:30

I have a picture of what is probably the same bear. There was a display of a variety of bears at Salford Quays 3years ago and the photo I have had a 3 year old sitting on his paw

BaronessEllarawrosaurus · 21/07/2022 17:31

I swear I have a picture of dd sat on that bear

50mg · 21/07/2022 17:31

What is Billy made of? What must he weigh?!

Rainbowshit · 21/07/2022 17:32

How did BIL react?!?!

Pickanameforme · 21/07/2022 17:32

X post Baroness

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 21/07/2022 17:34

🤣

NiqueNique · 21/07/2022 17:34

Billy is fantastic.

CorvusPurpureus · 21/07/2022 17:34

Could be like the Norwich hares...they were all over the town centre for a few years, then auctioned off eventually to make room for dozens of T Rexs. As you do.

anditgoesonandon · 21/07/2022 17:35

I was going to mention the possibility of a garden centre, there is a black one and a white one at a garden centre local to me, you can sit on the hand to pose for photographs!

I should think someone has taken the bear and it's greatly missed!

pimlicoanna · 21/07/2022 17:36

Bigger than I expected!

Wineat5isfine · 21/07/2022 17:37

Same bear I’m 100% sure! Sorry for the crop, my children were next to it! ☺️

Blossomtoes · 21/07/2022 17:38

It’s huge. It must weigh a ton.

Singleandproud · 21/07/2022 17:39

@corvusPurpureus Norwich do a different animal trail every year, diplodocus this year I think but not certain.

Madhairday · 21/07/2022 17:41

Those eyes! 😱

BillyBobBear · 21/07/2022 17:41

Well, that was akin to watching a Mr Bean sketch. I'm crying with laughter.

Here is Billy in his fetching fez. Hope that makes it less creepy.

I can confirm it does hold two children in its hands. We've given him some friends to keep him company

He is a very large statue. At least 8 ft tall.

He is black. DCs have named him Billy 😂

where do you live? A bear statue went missing from here about a month or so ago. People are fundraising to replace him.
