Festive Focus

With our immense focus on the festive season and the abundance(ABUNDANCE!) of festive stock in store I cant help feeling that we're missing a trick. We have no Santa's grotto! With this in mind and utilizing old cardboard and recycled blue tack retrieved from the back of an old Safeway sweeping log(!) We have constructed our own Santa's Grotty here at Solihull round the back of the carwash. The wbc ladies playing Santa, she was the only one who could supply her own beard, and we even have a happy elf,Ian in tights, (Khadra being unavailable this year).Again he supplied his own which worried me slightly, but I suppose lots of young lads own green tights in these enlightened times.

Anyway, the Grotty was very popular doing a roaring trade until the riot ensued. Many bloody noses were accumulated and we now have one seriously traumatized (former) elf. On reflection I suppose left over promo items WERE unsuitable presents from Santa and this led to the revolt. Our attempts to SOC converse with several parents lent further fuel to the flames so to speak and the whole experiment had to be aborted somewhat abruptly. I do think the R.S.P.C.As fuss over the reindeer's antlers was much to do about nothing, the dog was perfectly fine and once the superglue degrades the upturned headbands will fall off naturally.
