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). 😂😂😂😂

Spotty bandanna could double as Fozzy’s neckerchief if you add a brown pork pie hat…

Now wondering if it would be a step too far to paint him white for Christmas so he could be a polar bear!

Thgis is awesome! I am inspired now and want an 8" horse in my back garden. Contemplating where on earth to put him [ponders].

BIL has informed me there is also a Cockerel for sale

i used to drive past a shop on the A21 when visiting my parents that had a giant cockerel outside. We caused to call it the Giant Cock of Flimwell.

@BillyBobBear I think you may live quite near me and I may have seen this bear before when he lived at the garden centre

Does the garden centre have the initials BG?

Someone has got a gorilla statue at the end of their garden. The garden goes onto the canal so you can see it from the towpath.

Nope, sorry. Previous posters have guessed right 😌

Hilarious to know that there are mutilple Billy bears. Maybe we should get them together for a party. Grin

I have been secretly coveting the light up polar bears for YEARS. Maybe I will finally get my wish this Christmas Grin

Wow that would be a heck of a teddie bears picnic

🎼when we to down to the woods @BillyBobBear tonight we will be sure of a big surprise

SoupDragon · 23/07/2022 07:08

On the A22 there is a camping shop that has giant animals. The only one currently visible on street view is a giraffe but they used to have a gorilla and, I think, an elephant.

There is also a life sized stereotypical Native American which I think is just wrong.

The kids have always wanted us to buy one of these animals from the garden center. Am considering it now

Sweetpea1532 · 23/07/2022 12:36

@DeanStockwelll

I knew I'd see you on here eventually* *Wink

LaQuern · 23/07/2022 13:45

That is the most superb thing I've seen today

AnneKipankitoo · 23/07/2022 14:26

Can’t wait to see him dressed for Hallowe’en and Christmas!

DeanStockwelll · 23/07/2022 16:28

I can derail the thread too . I do not need much persuasion.

AnneKipankitoo · 23/07/2022 17:56

Oops , that last bit was for @DeanStockwelll . I thought I was on another thread .

DeanStockwelll · 23/07/2022 21:14

I went to a garden centre yesterday that had a life-size metal zebra for sale. Sorely tempted.

Would that be a teddy bear's party?
Can I recommend that you have said party in the woods?
Would it need to be a party or would a picnic be more suitable?
I think anyone attending this should go in disguise.
I'd also think that you should prepare anyone for a big surprise...

Can you see where I'm going with this? 😆

AnneKipankitoo · 24/07/2022 13:02

Yes @LookItsMeAgain .
Today’s the day !

SpindleInTheWind · 24/07/2022 13:30

I'd love that giraffe in my back garden, to shock entertain the kids a few door down one morning. I would give him or her a new hat every day, depending on my mood.

Nice thread, @BillyBobBear, thank you for the laugh.

Duchess379 · 24/07/2022 13:48

This is an epic post! Where has Billy come from? 😂😂🐾
