I enjoyed your mini-feature, reporting the £300,000 valuation of the original Poohsticks illustration, along with the reportage of the game invented in The House at Pooh Corner.

Surprised, however, there was no recognition of the fact that the characters themselves would, by now, have become bored by this game and would have chosen other leisure activities as illustrated in the attached cartoon, which I cut out of a Private Eye about 30 years ago!
