Anyway, back to the subject in hand.


In this thread Woof has identified himself as the neighbourhood Santa flaws, who thinks it's 'amusing' to drag the area's reputation into the gutter by defacing the facade of his dwelling with decorations from Poundsqueezer.


Many people will have passed these examples of poor taste and asked themselves what drives the owners to tar themselves with such a chavvy brush.


The answer is simple.


Those responsible for this American craze had blatantly poor or tight (Scottish) parents. Upon opening their gifts as children they'd find that Santa had paid them a visit on a shoe string. When they inquired as to why they'd always get a Yo Yo and a Satsuma their parents would claim that Santa must have missed them on his seasonal journey.


As adults who've been scarred by Santa apparently poor effort in delivering the goods, they feel it neccessary to illuminate their house as a homing beacon in the hope that Santa will see them and finally make good on his previous oversights and bestow the backlog of gift on them.


Don't feel sorry for them.

    • https://www.letslinkuk.net/ I'm interested to know why the OP didn't find this sort of scheme to work, as I would have thought it was much harder to find someone to do a direct exchange with? Does anybody else have experience of a scheme like this? Happy to be persuaded! 
    • I personally think is a great idea Bobbly and would love if there was a section for it. I wouldn't offer free gardening under the "for sale" section as I would expect something in exchange and wouldn't expect our cat being looked after for free under the "wanted" section, as an example.
    • Looking for used decking boards. Should be hardwood
    • I have fond memories of Govinda's I used to go there  back in the 90's (maybe earlier) for an affordable tasty lunch..I was wondering if its still around. Now I have to make a point of going there. Does anyone else remember a really affordable basement cafe run by the church in a street off of Golden Square? parallel to Regent Street? I also used to love the Vegetarian cafe on Neal Street in the basement (Neal Street Cafe?) and there was an inczredible inexpensive authentic Japanese resturant I use to go to with my Japanese friends (who introduced me to it) tucked away behind Long Acre where that brown brick modern building ('modern' I think it went up in the 90's!) now stands that fronts Long Acre and Neal Street..I think it was called Asakasa or something?
