Thanks for the link. The picture has been floating around the net for quite a few years. That's the first time I've seem a description of who was who.

Interesting bit about Billy throwing a tantrum

He has to conform to a dress code, works on the client premises (grotto) and is directed in the hours he has to work, e.g. only working during December and climbing down chimneys on Christmas Eve. However, the duration of the contract is short and he has no notice period.

The premises (grotto) are his own. He can work when ever he wants but must deliver by a certain date. The uniform is part of the job and therefore no reflection on status. He can employ as many people as he needs to deliver the project.


No do not think Santa is caught.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooo!

What about the easter bunny? Is that real. I'm suprised that kids go for that one. A guy delivering presents is one thing but a chocolate egg delivering rabbit is something else. And why does the tooth fairy want kids teeth anyway. Surely there is a huge mountain of old teeth somewhere.

Not true.

He uses the same one as Threaded I think.

I would make a good Santa because I have a large sack and only come once a year

Baring in mind the number of countries that Santa essentially works in, his tax situation must be a nightmare and his accountant a damn genius.

All I want to know is...


Who's his accountant and does he charge much?

Actually the reason he wears read is down to Coca Cola so it's not strictly his dress code...

Not true.

IR35 doesn't apply to Santa as he's been outsourced to India.

Sorry to disappoint you Denny but I think you'll find that Santa doesn't exist and the customers do pay for the goods.

If the non-existance of Santa surprises some of you then I am sorry but you had find out sometime.

I thought Gordo was interested in fairy tales not reality and doesn't he treat us all like children?

[maverick]

But they don't pay for the goods?

Santa is a Disney character, so he dresses as his client tells him.

RED.

[Flubster]

To be fair the dress code is His Cos and not his clients (I don't tell him what to wear).
HTH

If I'm naughty he doesn't have to give me anything - MOO Also, I am not obliged to send him a list of pressies.

If I do ask him for a new bike (rough spec) he gets to choose the colour and accessories (bell, stand, spokey dokeys etc) D+C

Since I'm not actually awake when he comes (otherwise he doesn't) he could well send an elf as a substitue and I wouldn't object as long as I got my bike.

So I think he's clear.
