6. Lin Vegas:
"My sign, 'is sign, ursine."
5. MAJM:
Michael Bond's rejected first draft: "Mr and Mrs Brown first met Tottenham Court Road on a railway platform. In fact, that was how he came to have such an unusual name for a bear for Tottenham Court Road was the name of the station."
4. Bellhouse Hartwell:
Canada Water? That should be perfect for me!
3. Kudosless:
Any more rises in the tube fares, and Lars would have to seriously reconsider reducing the number of his visits to Billingsgate.
