Hot on the heels of Father Christmas (I grudgingly go along with him) and his Elves (cant quite bring myself to assist my children in believing in them!) comes the Tooth Fairy (feeling very dodgy about this night-visiting, money-giving piece of fiction) and now, to top it all, the B$%&*dy Easter Bunny. Aaaargh, Do all kids beleive in all of these magical, mythical beings?
Yes, I agree, it's the Easter Bunny that has sent me over the edge. My older two say I have to uphold the Easter Bunny or all other mythical creatures are in doubt for the little ones.... but I dont like him. We have also had queries about dummy fairy (no dummies here so she's unlikely to visit) and news from school that everyone has their own personal angel to watch over them. Too many magical beings for me to manage!!!

I do't ever remember believing in the easter bunny. Think it's a more recent import.


Agree that the tooth fairy is cool though.


I was working with a 15 year old lad recently, and he was talking about what Santa was going to bring him. He has a twin brother with a severe learning disability, so I guess the parents have kept it up for him, and so this guy also believes it by default. I was trying to explain to him that he might want to keep quiet about Santa, when chatting to people at school!

    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
