Unfortunately that T.REX won't go with faded Laura Ashley wall paper

We have a lifesized soft toy crocodile, stretched out on the floor in front of our fireplace. It is a good conversation piece.

Ooh he is spikey, Witzend. And he’s got a tail. I didn’t know tortoises had such long tails. My childhood pet just had a stubby little one. 🐢

Alas, wouldn’t have room for it, even if it was only a tenner.

I have a prehistoric tortoise, though - he’s called Spike O’Saurus. Here he is, on our poor parched grass.

Fallingstar outbid me at the last minute. I had just the place for it in my flat. Oh, bother!

SueDonim Tue 14-Jul-26 18:29:11

It’s me. I’ve bought it for the hall, to hang coats and hats on. 🦖

Fallingstar Tue 14-Jul-26 18:24:16

Darn! I’ve been rumbled. I thought it would look good in the front room next to the occasional table. A good talking point.

Too big for my garden!

... bought by a private bidder at Sotheby's.

Well? Which one of the GN fraternity has money to burn?
