Help, are any mumsnetters passing the St Pancras premier inn next few days

[Clearinguptheclutter]

got an inconsolable 11 year old DS. Left his (once) white jellycat bunny, given to him when he was born. It has been temporarily lost before and he has a (almost as old) replacement but obviously it’s not the same. Anyway we are 99% sure it was left in a certain room in the premier inn st Pancras yesterday

Now back at home in Manchester. I am calling the hotel and getting no answer (they are grossly understaffed), I have got a response from Twitter but only that they will pass it on to the hotel which I can’t be sure will get through.

I’m wondering if any very kind mumsnetter may be able to pop in and try and physically ask someone - and/or if we can confirm it is there, pick it up (as I gather that they might not agree to send or just be too busy). Obviously I would pay postage plus a generous tip!

in the meantime wondering if anyone has any happy stories from lost property at the premier inn. Honestly they are so critically understaffed (perhaps deliberately so?) that only turning up in person is likely to get any result.

Because there is always one, who has to take offence from a throwaway comment on the internet and let eveyone know what a prick they are.

Sorry. I'm still lost.
🤣

This thread has restored my faith in human nature.

After reading so many pile ons in recent days, it is so refreshing to have a thread with such a lovely outcome.

Is it too soon to nominate this for Classics?

A wonderful gesture & delighted the story ended well 👏

I think the first reply saying it was heartless was saying that it's a terrible thing to think that if you had a time machine and the means to kill Hitler and save the lives of millions of people but would actually use that machine just to get your teddy back. That reply was saying the original person is an awful selfish person.

Which is insane and a completely ridiculous response to a post that was based on the existence of a working time machine and was just using that as a device to explain how much she missed her old teddy.

The heartless one is not the original poster of that comment that's for sure.

Oh, well done @GoldGoose you are a star! What a fantastic outcome!

My friend's dd left a similar looking white rabbit in a hotel room once. The staff there couldn't find it and said it was most likely that it had been bundled up in the bedsheets when the cleaners were changing the bed and been sent to the laundry.

3 weeks later the rabbit arrived home in the post looking very white after being boil washed with the sheets.

The lovely hotel staff had contacted the laundry and they found it. Apparently they have a whole collection of soft toys that have been collected up with sheets and towels and never reunited.

I'm so glad your bunny is on his way home.

Does anyone remember a story from about 15 years or so ago, where a group of bikers returned a lost toy from one end of the country to the other? There were pictures of them setting off up the motorway riding in convoy.

Like a Bunny relay from London to Manchester? Bunny could be handed over at various service stations en route to continue his journey home.

I couldn’t give a shit if she said wanted to go back in time in her fictional working Time Machine and stop the death of Stalin to get her teddy back.

It’s just a comment on a bollocks forum. It didn’t mean anything.

What a lovely thread, nice to see a positive thread on Mumsnet.

Two things -

#1
What a lovely happy ending and shows what a wonderful place MN is. Goose what a lovely person you are

#2
In other news, stuff escalates quickly round these parts! Some people need to caaaasaalm down a tad

This made me giggle after reading the post directly before yours! 🤭🤭

What a lovely thread!

Did he steal pink rabbit?

Oh that is amazing!!
This is heartwarming!
I remember I once left my favourite teddy bear in a hotel in Ibiza aged 6
He arrived a week later in the post
I still remember the kindness

Yes! Wasn't the little boy autistic or something similar?

Hope the bunny is on its way home soon! I lost my parrot teddy once when I was around your son's age, lots of tears, got him back a couple of days later - I still have him.

Reductio ad Hitlerum isn't really the spirit of Mumsnet, no?

Nope! I’m clearly a wrong’un.

Glad the kid got his teddy back, and let’s hope a Time Machine is never available to the general public.

Such a heartwarming and lovely thead. Those Jellycat type bunnies are very precious and popular - my eldest DD would have been equally sad if she'd lost hers! Well done @GoldGoose 👏
