Here's a similar question: If Edmund et al had returned to Earth without
Peter, how would they have explained their absence to their parents?

Their parents would not have noticed their absence, as time in our world
passes at a different rate, and no matter how long they spent in Nania,
practically no time had elapsed in our world. But if they returned without
Peter, his absence would presumably be noticed.

The real conundrum woudl be, if Peter had remained longer in Narnia, and then
returned, to which "present" in our world would he return -- the "present" in
which the others had returned, in which case his disappearance would be
forgotten, or the present in which the others had missed him for several days
or more.

If that's our Peter you are torkin' about he can fly back to earth by using
his parrots.

"I get a really good laugh when I think of how much of their time we are
wasting. It only takes an off-the-cuff one liner from any one of the
intelligentsia in u.l.s and the passed-its-sell-by-date Chief Collard and
his ADC (Another Dozy Cunt) DribblingBuffoon01 spend hours thinking up a
response, and even then they can only come up with mindless bollocks. It's
like having radio controlled muppets at your disposal. Push their little
buttons and watch them go. Too funny!" - Dave The Fat Sarge in uls.
