a statue in front of a building: Matty James, 32, believed he had purchased a eight foot blow-up Father Christmas from eBay - only for the festive whopper to turn out to be eight metres instead

Looks like a good deal to me.

To each his own...

I notice people who buy these inflatable decorations don’t put them up the next year. Do they use a lot of electricity?

They’re listed at around $650.00 right now so yeah if he paid that price.

I’ve noticed a lot of private dwelling in England look like this one, bland, plain, stripped of individual flourishes.
Does England have it’s own version of Government Housing i.e.
The Projects?

Not to dampen his Christmas spirit, but this may be proof some people do have too much disposable income...If its England I guess I’ll give him a pass since he couldn’t spend the money on a gun and ammo...

I remember back in the 80's when a local farmer ordered "One of them dish antennas to pick up HBO on"

A dish manufacturer in Poplar Bluff MO sold him an ADM 25' dish and he told them to "Just stick it in the front yard, by the road"

The 25ft dish actually made his 2 bed 1 bath house look tiny.

His wife was aghast!

People driving by on the little blacktop road would head for the ditch when he started rotating that thing, it was a sight to behold.

Wish I had an actual image of the thing but this image has the proper perspective :-)

"when the flaccid St Nick was blown "

Guess Britain has the same problem with their news writers and publishers never looking at the phrases they put out (pun intended).

I had a neighbor in Maui who lived across the street from me Who bought one of those and inflated it next to his house. We lived up on a hillside windward looking down over the ocean and Kahului airport. You could see this thing from an airplane when you were flying in. He had tied it down but not well enough. When he checked on it after a few hours it was gone and was never seen again. I’m still laughing at the look on his face eight years later.
