There are going to be some very angry words for Santa this year when many kids don’t get the present they wanted. Poundstretcher, the bargain UK store, agreed to pull a gambling kit for kids from its shelves, following complaints by social groups and concerned parents. The Telitoy Gamblice device, which featured fake €500 note, was selling for just 99 p, and included dice, plastic chips and banknotes. There are those who argue that games such as Monopoly can also be considered “gambling”, since they contain, dice and banknotes and encourage players to ‘gamble’ on the property market. They may just have a point there…. Merry Christmas in the meantime…
Eight signs that Santa hates your kid:
1. Your kid’s letter to the North Pole comes back stamped, “Dream on, Chester!”
2. Your kid asks for new bike, and gets pack of smokes.
3. Along with presents, Santa leaves a hefty bill for shipping and handling.
4. By the time he gets to your house, all he has left is foam packing.
5. On Christmas day, your kid wakes up with a Reindeer head in his bed.
6. Instead of “Naughty” or “Nice”, Santa has him on the stupid list.
7. Labels on all your kid’s toys read “Straight from Craptown.”
8. Four words: “Off my lap, Tubby!”
