I'm curious, whence we see that it is Nelson? Besides the label, of course :) It has only one wing? %-0
I'm perfect bore, know :D

But I like idea Horatio and Archie ducks :))

Tsk! And I'm sure Nelson's beak was not quite that shade of orange ;)

It's all very good to be in history books, but you're not really famous until you get a rubber duck in your image. :D

Indeed. This fine ducky is the pinacle of Nelson's naval legacy.

I adore that duck. I think he looks very dignified. I should get myself one :)

Of course as soon as I saw this very fine ducky I immediately thought of you :) Please allow me to get one for you to add to your collection?

I am so very predictable. *g*

You may. And I will immediately forget that you have asked. :)

The Admiral should be winging his way to you at this very moment! :)

I don't see what they're complaining about. I don't think it's disrespectful. I think it's cute. I'd buy one if I had the chance.

Exactly! Nothing disrespectful at all, he's a splendid ducky :)

It clearly has two eyes - how many wings?

This is obviously a pre-Tenerife, pre-Corsica ducky!
