Having a daughter with special needs we attend a lot of things with her including an annual Christmas party. One year I was asked to don a Winnie the Pooh costume and mingle with the participants. Glad to assist I agreed. The main body or torso of Pooh had a full length zip at the back so once on someone zipped me up and I just plonked on the head and entered the room.
Unfortunately the eyeholes in the head did not align with mine 100% so visibility was hit and miss. I kept bumping into things, especially chairs and tables. I remember one child telling it's mother that Winnie the Pooh had said a bad word. This was after I'd hit my knees off something hard for the umpteenth time.
"Winnie the Pooh, wouldn't say a thing like that" said the mother.
Unfortunately her illusions were shattered when I had a mishap with a table stacked with empty trays.
The coup the gras came later when I was out in the hall trying to exit the Winnie the Pooh suit unassisted. It is only when I twisted the head and removed it that I saw a young child watching me. She exited the hall in hysterics looking for her mother. She probably had nightmares for weeks thinking of Winnie's contortions prior to his head being removed!!!
Like I said nothing to do with Land Rovers except for the fact that we drove there and back in one.
