In our local paper, more Santa mayhem! It was reported that whilst children were waiting to see Father Christmas, the very man came out of his grotto, took his beard off and said he'd be back in a few minutes! Children were, apparently, 'shocked' at this behaviour!
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will already know my thoughts about Father Christmas, although I see no harm in going to see one of the father Christmas's around if the children want to. Just don't be too disappointed if his beard comes off!
Another local news item of non-joy at Christmas is that EDF have scheduled a power cut around the High Street this Sunday morning. They are reported to have said they timed it for a Sunday given the number of business premises in the area. Presumably no-one twigged that many of them were shops, and the Sunday one and half weeks before Christmas is probably one of the few Sundays most of them will be open.
Still where would we be without our wonderful privatised utility companies?
I should add that the power cut will not affect us - Sunday trading and all that!
