Is that phoney still about? I wrote a letter to him 50 years ago this Christmas. I`m still waiting for the train set.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

strange time of year this, we tell kids not to talk to strangers or accept lifts or confectionery from them, then on christmas eve they get told to lure a fat bloke with a red conk and big gut into their room late at night with food and drink.
no wonder they get confused.

Oh dear Colin, I think you will find Nigel Collor got that train set a few years ago from the real father Christmas at Crabble Corn Mill and there was a photo of him with it on this forum.
But hey get to the Mill next Saturday and Sunday, bring the kids as well and you never know!

Thanks Harry. The kids are bit too big now, but they don`t believe in him anyway. I did like Hancock did. Told them when they were 3 there was no Santa. Why should I spend all that money out and let someone else get the credit for it.

Anyone seen that lorry haulage company. Been about a few years, called David Christmas Ltd. Some of you may have seen them. Anyway, imagine them going round with David Xmas on the side! Back to the subject, I`ll try and make a visit to the above Harry. (Only if I can have a present off Santa though).

Harry or any of the guys from the Mill if you can send me a bit of info on the timings of the Santa Claus arrival and so forth I will remind people...and will try to get up there for a couple of pictures. Did take pictures of the event for a number of years as its always a good one. Very popular with the kids for sure.

Father Christmas was late Vic as he was waving at me .I posted earlier the Lantern proccession leaves Lewisham Road at 4.30pm Carols will be sung in The Royal Oak car park I think the Mulled Wine will be good .
I have to advise and my fingers are not willing this event is being advertised on the BIG SCREEN .Now i will have to recover from the effort of advertising the BIG SCREEN

Paul
Father Christmas arrived at the Mill on Sunday but he will be there again this Sunday at 2pm until 5pm and I am being told he is making a special vist on Saturday at the Mill to link in with the Dickens Festival.
He did want to go to the football up the Crabble but was told off by Mother Christmas for even thinking about it.

went past the screen late afternoon, wonderful to hear the children murdering christmas carols.
the lights and tree in market square looked a lot better than we have had before despite everything.
have to count our blessings sometimes, anyway that is enough mush for now.
. All again next weekend also the Dickins weekend there to so please come along with all the family have a cake which my wife made and a cuper or even a beer but if you are at the wheel go for the cuper.
