    As you can see from this video, Swindon Saint and Fran do their research well.

    Whether they can turn green or not (which they apparently can, which is pretty cool) the one in the question is definitely white, unless the North pole has been flushed with algae.

    Seems very cruel to keep polar bears under such hot conditions.

    I don't think your correct answer is in any danger, Dan‽

    Quite right! You should have a look at Godders' other thread. I didn't know it so googled the answer, think it'd be up your street!

    A manic-depressive bear, went to the bear doctors and was diagnosed as being BiPolar.

    I seem to remember that Polar bears used to stand on huge mints, whilst talking to Foxes.
    Or do I just have a paw memory?

    Do they still make those mints? I used to love them as a child but I don't think they were that good for your teeth.

    Do children today eat as many sweets as we did as children as I don't see so many sweet shops as there were when I was a child?

    You can still buy Fox's Glacier Mints. Think sweet shops have gone the same way as many small shops..killed off by supermarkets. Think most youngsters eat chocolate and jellies now....kid are too soft these days to tackle a boiled sweet;)

    There is a traditional sweet shop in Newport as well, but I have no idea how they stay open.

    Used to love Kola Kubes...but never go back as they never taste the same.

    When I worked at the old Poly in Milton there was a sweet shop across the road that was just like this. Is it still there? It was almost opposite the school which is as good place as any to site a sweet shop.

    It could have been a brown bear with a very dodgy compass.
