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.

    • I've looked up previous media coverage and gather that the school warned pupils of the risk of police 'fines' for assembly under the extant Covid regulations.  Don't you think they might have felt it a duty, to both pupils and parents, to do so?
    • I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/  
    • @first mate not aware of any either. Found this relating to 23-24..  https://services.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-creates/funding/cultural-celebrations-fund?chapter=4 
    • Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2
