Does nobody care?

Father Christmas has been perched on the ledge at the top of this tower at the Trafford Centre, for over three weeks. He's obviously threatening to jump as the recession has badly hit sales.
But no one has attempted to talk him down!

 

There's little point talking him down now. If starvation hasn't got him yet, hypothermia surely will have. Best leave him there for now, then when the kids get lumps of coal for being naughty, or a cheap hand made peg doll because of the recession, they can go along and vent their frustration by throwing rotten fruit at him.

 

Excuse me, Santa clause floats and flies. So no fear of gravity taking over folks. Remember he is magic.

 

I wonder if anyone ever tested that theory. Perhaps in medieval days they thought he was a witch, and tried chucking him off a church tower. When that didn't work they dunked him in the river. When still that didn't work they figured he was all powerful and they'd best worship the big scary man that magically sneaks into your house at christmas despite all the doors and windows being locked, and figured if they leave offerings of mince pies and sherry, he might, with luck, leave your house and its occupants intact and move along.

 

Sounds plausible:wink:

 

Santa clause?


Not another blinkin' directive from 'elf an' safety?

(Sorry!)

 

My thread title of "Does nobody care?" instantly reminded me of this little classic which some of the older contributors may remember with affection.
