I thought I saw him the other day, but didn't get the shot. This evening I was ready with the long lens and tripod. Good of him to stand so still for the 1/4 second exposure!
Er Jan, (looking round for impressionable childreb and wispering) he's not real you know...

If you REALLY saw him you MUST have been at 'World's End Garden Centre' in Wendover, because that's where he is this year! I know, because I phoned Selfridges, Hamleys and Harrods to find him. A pretend Santa was at Harrods, and the silly people must have thought he was the real one because there was a 3 hour queue to see him. Selfridges and Hamleys don't have a grotto this year, so he can't possibly be there, so we went to find him on Monday.
WE FOUND HIM!!! At the 'World's End', and there was a big grotto - MUST SEE! I know he was the real Santa because he told us he was... and Santa never tells lies! Funny, I didn't realise he was a Cockney!
He wasn't illuminated when we saw him though, so this must be a party trick he tries when he's had a few (that's why he has rosy cheeks!).
