In this country marred by an epidemic of obesity and massive unemployment how the hell is it that there seems to be a shortage of fat old blokes to take the part of Father Christmas?
Take this bloke for example…
I’m not criticising his overall levels of motivation, the guy has been sat there for at least five hours with a never ending line of snot-nosed kids all taking turns to glare at him in a manner that’s accusing and dubious about his Saint Nicholas credentials. Quite rightly so and all. Take my five year old daughter.. She was under no illusions that he was the real deal. And while we’re at it,
that is no magic chimney, it’s got a speaker in it!
But really, there must be loads of fat old blokes who could have played the part, or are they all sat at home stinking of fags, piss and stale beer?
There’s not much hohoho coming from this famine stricken father Christmas!
Bah humbug!
