I passed briefly through Manchester city centre yesterday evening, and caught my first glimpse of the new Town Hall Santa. To be honest, it’s a bit disappointing.
It’s not the new design or the lights. The whole “wow-factor” of the Town Hall Santa was that he was climbing on the town hall roof. The new Santa is sat on a silly plinth. He could be anywhere – St Peter’s Square, Bury Market, Piccadilly Gardens, the centre circle at Old Trafford.
I think that rather defeats the object.
