This evening I was going through some old boxes and I found this teddybear. He has a NatWest ribbon on – he's clearly a promotional item, and not a much-loved childhood friend. Somehow he’d been decapitated while in storage. What am I supposed to do with a headless teddy?

I’m supposed to throw him away, of course. But I don’t think I can. His big black eyes are pleading with me to love him.

I think I have issues with anthropomorphism.
