No, he's called Jimbo! Sorry no trendy literary connections, he's just simple and cuddly! Rather like the majority of men in my life ...........

Not a hymn-loving bear then ...?

What, cross-eyed, beer belly, with longlegs and big feet. Well Anna, they say love is blind

I knew they'd be queuing up to respond to that last one, Annakins!

Me, I shall keep my counsel



EDIT: on topic, v dark here and rumbling distant thunder pretty much all the time....

Au contraire saly, jumpers are all I have! Sweaters are terribly Non-U, dontcha know"

Oh, a sweet little Teddy, but I think Guernseys are different from Jerseys, something to do with the knit .... (where have all the men got to to advise?) I too have a teddy, he's cross-eyed with a beer belly, impossibly long legs and huge feet and sports a tartan bow tie, really scruffy .... but I love him to death, wouldn't be without him. I think everyone has a Teddy, even if they hide him away.

It could be one of these regional/national things, a bit like muggy and close.

Where I come from.... women, especially elderly women, wear jumpers, and men wear jerseys. Younger women I think wear jerseys too. A guernsey is a jersey knitted with very thick heavy wool, sometimes called "fishermen's knit", and far too heavy for summer, even in the frozen north. The jersey I wore in the office today is an oldish one I keep there for Emergencies, and yes, you're amazingly perspicacious, it has a diamond pattern.

I never had a teddy - except for my 60 yo china teddybear eggcup who still lives on my mantelpiece - but I did have a gollywog, when they were still allowed, and he had a tartan jacket.

... when I were a lad me and the brothers wore guernseys. We thought we were much more swell than those who wore jerseys....

Pringles, the sort elderly men wear for golf with matching socks? ........

Bless him, the Presbyterian Scots had him cuddling an eggcup as a Teddy substitute ......... I expect he had to hide his tartan golly under the sheets ........

Minds have!

Has anyone else noticed that since Anna mentioned Pringle knitwear for men, Bbm has evinced an interest and his spelling is greatly improved?

I think we should be told.
