Pudsey

First of all - mea culpa! I have used the wrong form of 'its' in the last frame. Normally the apostrophe denotes the use of the possessive, except in the case of 'it's' where it is an abbreviated form of 'it is'. Chumley's also using a remarkably Northern turn of phrase as well. 'That's as maybe'. Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs, our kid!

As any of my UK readers will tell you, Pudsey Bear is the mascot of the BBC's annual charity telethon Children in Need. Bank managers will be sitting in bathtubs full of baked beans in windy shopping centres all over the country to show how wacky they can be while raising money for a worthy cause.

You can find out more and maybe even donate at http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/. I'll be watching tonight - at least as far as the traditional Doctor Who mini-episode.

Pudsey's injury is unspecified, but whatever it is, it hasn't healed in thirty years...
