Couldn't agree more Molly, I think this is too pricey and that they could get people through the door in droves by charging a bit less. Reckon they will still get loads going tho, I have a few friends willing to pay for "real" reindeer viewing :)

haven't got time to read whole post , just wanted to mention we went to Santa's Grotto at Westfield Stratford, it cost ?3 each and it was really worth it, they did such a good job on the 5D movie and the decor was stunning, Santa talked to each kid personally and they all got presents, plus you can buy a pic of your LO with Santa for ?6. we all loved it. check out the link here: http://uk.westfield.com/stratfordcity/news-and-events/santas-grotto/

Hope all the Santa's grottos went well!


Just to say I've supported the Santa's grotto at Dulwich Park as my 16 year daughter was actually one of the elves, along with some of her friends from the local 6th form college. This is part of their community service contribution for their exams.


They've worked voluntarily for the past 4 Sundays from 10am-4pm and Whippersnappers kindly agreed for them to do this.


Other students volunteered in charity shops, etc.


Daughter had a very busy time with the children, reindeer, decorating a gingerbread man, waiting to see santa claus but her and friends know how to keep young children amused.

Ooo - we might've seen your daughter last Sunday - we went & really enjoyed it - thought all the elfs/helpers were all fab (especially the 2 young elfs helping with the gingerbread men who were both very good with Bugglet). Yes it was more than a shopping centre Santa, but there was far more going on - Bugglet surprised us by being very clear on her instructions to the face painter (pink heart on her forearm!) and when the time came to meet the big man himself she got over her shyness & high five'd him several times :)


Would be v interested in going again if it returned next year.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
