What was your childhood cuddly toy called? ?

Teeny tiny tears oh how I loved that doll!

It was a disreputable toy dog that went by the name of ‘ Ragsiepoo’ ?

Ted, renamed Patches, as per my story earlier on in this thread. He seriously needs fixing up more!

I don’t remember having a cuddly toy. I had a rubber bendy Noddy doll though. It was made of some kind of rubber and smelt funny. I didn’t take it to bed though.

A bit of probably irrelevant nostalgia. There have been one or two mentions of Brumas the polar bear cub. When I was 10 I queued with my mother at London Zoo for hours and hours, or so it seemed to me, in order to see Brumas. There were announcements telling us to move on once we had seen him. I think it was 1950.

Don't want to take this too far off thread as it's a lovely read but Grandma's memories reminded me of a doll I had when I was about 4 or 5. She was black (very unusual then) and called Boko and I couldn't remember why so I looked it up and it all came flooding back. Boko was the shortened name of the surviving baby of conjoined twins and it was all in the news that they had separated them. It may even have been the first time they had done the separation but I don't really know about that. All I can think is well done Mum and Dad for extending my world.

I can’t remember his name, he was a dog, a bit spaniel like, I remember his neck, at the top had to be re sown as the stuffing was coming out. To get to sleep I used to pick fluff of my blanket and hold it near my nose as I sucked my thumb. My brother had a piece of cloth he called ‘piece’, I remember Mum trying to get it away to wash was a right palaver.

I only remember having one cuddly toy, and it was called Teddy, of course ?.
I still had it when my eldest son was a toddler, but it mysteriously disappeared - I suspect he 'posted' it through the swing-lid of the kitchen rubbish bin ?

I had a rag doll called Lucy Lou.
