Now that's just wrong!

yes - he also ate my great aunties false teeth once!

Dare I ask if they were ever seen again?

no idea! but i know she had to get a new pair so had to go gummy for weeks!

I'm guessing that was preferable than the prospect of reusing them if they had reappeared intact

Oh yes. Going toothless was terrible for my great auntie, right up until the week she died she wore a full face of makeup,the type that leaves powder all over your face when you kiss her and lipstick on your cheek. She refused to go out the house until the new teeth arrived !
