The Real Father Christmas
Has anyone any idea at what time the real Father Christmas arrives in Hertford next week? Under new EC health regulations, I believe you can't leave the mince pies out too long uncovered.
Which part of Hertford does he cover first, and do the parking regulations apply on a Bank Holiday? Will the wardens be working?

Well, it all depends on what direction he'll be coming from. If he's coming directly from the North Pole then I suspect he'll be visiting Bengeo first. But if he's not doing our area until he's homeward bound then it's more likely that somewhere south of Hertford will be visited first.
Also, with the seasonal clampdown on drink driving, is it advisable to leave a small alcoholic tipple for him with the mince pies?

I do hope he also has the required seatbelts, wonder if doing that up and taking it off at each stop slows him down.
Also hope Mrs Claus does not need to phone him on his mobile while he is driving the sleigh!
Should have got my friend to check, she saw him in Lapland when she took her grandchildren.
On Christmas Eve you can track him here to see how far he has got so that will help with the mince pies not being out too long.

In that case I do hope Santa has been made aware that he won't be able to turn right from Bengeo Street into Tower Street from next week. (I believe the new traffic calming measures also apply altitudinally).

Must do Bengeo first then he is usually here between midnight and 1 am, he just has to watch he keeps out of the way of the people coming out of the churches after midnight service so they don't spot him but can't leave it too late as children can be up at 2 /3 expecing him to have been!.

Father Christmas will not be visiting the Batty house this year if the Batty family (who often read the Forum posts) do not start behaving themselves RIGHT NOW.
Batty Minor - your bedroom needs tidying. If it's not tidy Father Christmas will see you have enough toys and won't leave any more.
Batty Major - if you don't put that stinking heap of clothes into your laundry basket TODAY the Environmental Health people will stop everybody - inc.FC - from coming into this house.
Mr.Batty - both of the above PLUS The White Horse CAN survive without your custom. Father Christmas will deliver divorce papers to you if you don't take note.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!

If Father Christmas does deliver the papers to Mr B at The White Horse, maybe he could take mine to Mr T aswell and we could split the cost of FC's Mince Pies.
I hope everyone has a good one, even if all females are totally exhausted. [xx(]
