Fab story :thumbsup: On a slightly more sinister but similar journeyed furry friend, a few fellow consultants kidnapped a Kermit Frog toy owned by a rather mouthy receptionist way back in 2000 in the CI

For the next 5 years, we sent her pictures from his own email address at various airports, as we handed Kermit off to each other on our travels to be seen with various air hostesses, sleeze joints, pubs, gambling casinos, beaches, boats, car shows, landmark buildings, two French policemen (very risky) from the Far East to the America’s. The pick that really got to her was the one we managed to get two years in reading the paper at her desk.. with the next two waving at both Jersey & LHR airports heading off at the gate to São Paulo...

It was a forum-uniting event - Zedward certainly had a few experiences...

Not the route. But a look back through the original thread is an adventure in itself. You could certainly plot the route from all the picture too.

It also serves to remind us why he was out there, making every one smile. :)

I think I may have driven Zedward the furthest although it was from where I live in Kent and not Essex as per the list :thumbsup:

I took him to a Brewery in Masham for a pint then eventually handed him over to, I think it was Mark who had the red Alpina, I forget his forum name. I remember arriving back in Leeds having collected the bear at perhaps the England/Wales meet and stopping at a pedestrian crossing. The bloke crossing turned to his Mrs and said incredulously "that bloke's got a massive bear with him". I blushed :rofl:

Behave that was five years ago. That’s a scary thought.
Glad he was rescued though and now has a lovely home.

That could be a whole new thread. I may have to spend a few hours plotting all the places we I took him in the SW and post up a claim. For others to shoot at. I'm sure he must have done a few epic trips from the photos :D

Edit: Just plotted where he travelled in our care. roughly 315miles of fury fun. Let battle commence. :D :driving: :thumbsup:
