The second bit of ransom I want is 10 orange smarties by 12 noon tomorrow (medicine) - or the flu could get worse....

M = There will be 10 orange smarties by his bottle by 12 noon tomorrow and I
expect to have him safely back then. I do not like to see him in a red jumper and insist he come back in a blue one, he also needs the elastic band and chain loosening from around his neck in the meantime.

Sootynicker = you insist? i think you have lost the meaning of blackmail here - it is my demands which are to be met - not yours! I look forward to seeing the 10 orange smarties near sooty's bottle tomorrow - you will have one final quest following this before the bear is returned! Be warned failure to comply will result in a prolonged kidnapping and torture of the bear! The chain and elastic bands are around sooty's neck to prevent another attempted escape.
