Spurry 'still in drawer'

CYPRUS - News received in Toyland yesterday reported that Spurry Steakface, who has accompanied Emily on holiday to Cyprus, has not even been taken out of the drawer she was hastily thrown into in the foriegn land nearly two weeks ago.

The report said nothing of her husband Chris Steakface, 42. The only other toy to go on holiday was oversized bird Ducky Mallard.

The news will come as a comfort to those toys accustomed to going on holiday but who were left behind this time, in particular Marissa Cooper, who has been on every holiday with Emily for around four years.

'Well I was pretty miffed at not being taken and all,' said Cooper, aged 21, 'but if they just get stuck in a smelly drawer then I'm pleased I'm not there!'. Marissa Cooper has had unfortunate experiences with drawers before, including losing her first dog Frankie to one when Emily didn't check it properly before leaving San Diego, California.

The falling figures of toys being taken on holiday by Emily has led to a dramatic rise in the number of toys holidaying locally. The Back Garden Holidays Ltd has reported a 300% increase in its low cost trips.

Winnie the Pooh, the Mayor of Boston, said toys should not feel bad about not going on holiday with Emily. 'Those countries are much too hot for toys made out of warm cotton wool.' Even wearing just a waistcoat, Winnie looked sweltering in the Toyland heat yesterday.

Ducky is five years old.
