Santa Quits - Christmas cancelled

Yes, it's true. Santa has jacked it in - had enough - sick of it..

Edinburgh Santa quits as kids only get one minute.

SANTA has quit the Capital’s busiest grotto days before Christmas and slammed the attraction for herding as many children through the door as possible.

Mike Daviot, 55, who spent a week working at the attraction in East Princes Street Gardens before resigning, said he had to see as many as 30 families an hour.

The professional actor said disappointed children were given just one minute with Santa himself after making their way into the grotto and had to listen to a “bland and formulaic” script which Santas were forbidden from deviating from. And some parents have complained about the experience and the quality of gifts children received.

The fresh criticism of Edinburgh’s Christmas festivities comes amid a string of protests over rising costs, censorship on its Facebook page and Friday’s terror on the Star Flyer ride when part of a seat broke off and plunged towards crowds.

Shocking that this has happened so near to Christmas. He was probably also on a zero hours contract as well.
