Kudos for the title, points off for mild criticism of the Jarman Market.

This is true. He also had Uncle Holly with him when I went.

I had a Christmas job in Lewis’s, some years after queuing to meet Father Christmas. I’d like to think he and/or the elves put in a good word for me behind the scenes.

Great solstice and you were right, Dave.
