Ursine Peruvain who likes marmalade sandwiches
I met a real life Peruvian (living in London, but not with the Brown family), the other day, so what did we talk about ? Paddington Bear of course. Funny how something from so long ago really sticks in your memory, everyone around the table could rattle off the key Paddo facts.
- Bear
- From Darkest Peru
- Found at Paddington Station with a note saying “Please look after this bear, thank you.”
- Likes Marmalade Sandwiches
- Wears wicked red wellies
- Great Duffel Coat
- Scruffy hat that he will not give up
- Has an endless capacity for getting into trouble. However, he is known to “try so hard to get things right”
Anyway Paddington now has his own entry in Wikipedia and his own website
So Adrian (not sure on Peruvian spelling) was subjected to a whole evening of Paddington trivia (although how can something as important as Paddington be trivial)! poor bloke, but instead of leading us away from bear talk – his girlfriend lead the charge.
