It was Christams
Day and the cafe at Ovingdean was open. And who should come along on
his bicycle, but Santa! Not content with riding his sleigh throughout
the early hours of Christmas morning, Santa was out again on his bicycle,
only this time he was pulling crackers with passers-by - or rather
as he passed by.
The boy in the photograph didn't manage to grab the cracker, but two
tables on, on this side of the picture frame, another customer did
'make contact' with the cracker, and pulled it as Santa sped by. In
fact, the customer won the pull. Perhaps it was the mulled wine
the cafe was serving that gave him the edge.
Santa didn't stop. He just zoomed on by. His next port of call would
have been the village of Rottingdean.
Well, done, Santa, whoever you are. Nice one!
