POPS'Soldier Bear' When the troops were demobilised, Voytek spent his last days at Edinburgh Zoo. Mr Karolewski went back to see him on a couple of occasions and found he still responded to the Polish language. "I went to Edinburgh Zoo once or twice when Voytek was there," he said. "And as soon as I mentioned his name he would sit on his backside and shake his head wanting a cigarette. It wasn't easy to throw a cigarette to him - all the attempts I made until he eventually got one." Local campaigner Aileen Orr would like to see a memorial created at Holyrood to the bear she says was part of both the community and the area's history. She first heard about Voytek as a child from her grandfather, who served with the King's Own Scottish Borderers. "I thought he had made it up to be quite honest but it was only when I got married and came here that I knew in fact he was here, Voytek was here," she said. "It is just amazing, the story is totally amazing."

POPSMotorists face zero drink drive limit The hardcore drink-drivers will take no notice of any limit, and it will generally be Mr or Mrs Average who would fall foul of such limits. Not for one moment am I advocating drinking and driving: I won't go near a car when I've had a drink but, like many others, I enjoy a drink in the evening, and I believe that a zero limit would be a restrictive measure imposed on the mostly responsible members of society because the risk inherent in such a limit may result in many people being caught in the 'Morning after' trap even though they had only drunk a moderate amount the night before. As for random breath testing: It already exists. The police can stop any motorist at any time and require one to take a breath test because an officer has perceived what he believes to be a driving offence on the part of the driver.

POPSCardstacker I have neither the skill nor the patience to undertake this. My only skill with cards is flipping beer mats on a Saturday night down the pub. Sad.
