I should learn to listen to voices of wisdom......   I was curious.
I went to check.   I found Britannia.  It is a small brownish-yellow
coloured bear about 6 inches high with a Union Jack embroidered on its
chest.    And the cost of it is:

One Hundred And Fifty UK Pounds!

You are quite right.  I should have stayed at home!
