Hot on the heels of Father Christmas (I grudgingly go along with him) and his Elves (cant quite bring myself to assist my children in believing in them!) comes the Tooth Fairy (feeling very dodgy about this night-visiting, money-giving piece of fiction) and now, to top it all, the B$%&*dy Easter Bunny. Aaaargh, Do all kids beleive in all of these magical, mythical beings?
Yes, I agree, it's the Easter Bunny that has sent me over the edge. My older two say I have to uphold the Easter Bunny or all other mythical creatures are in doubt for the little ones.... but I dont like him. We have also had queries about dummy fairy (no dummies here so she's unlikely to visit) and news from school that everyone has their own personal angel to watch over them. Too many magical beings for me to manage!!!

I do't ever remember believing in the easter bunny. Think it's a more recent import.


Agree that the tooth fairy is cool though.


I was working with a 15 year old lad recently, and he was talking about what Santa was going to bring him. He has a twin brother with a severe learning disability, so I guess the parents have kept it up for him, and so this guy also believes it by default. I was trying to explain to him that he might want to keep quiet about Santa, when chatting to people at school!

    • There is also one for Goose green https://www.police.uk/pu/your-area/metropolitan-police-service/goose-green/?yourlocalpolicingteam=your-team Disclaimer: only passing on what I have found by searching. No involvement in organising it.  
    • It is a challenge.  These sorts of services are increasingly expensive to deliver as fewer and fewer people use them.  Most people don't want to have to go back to using their lunch hour to queue up at the bank or Post Office.  So the options  are - reduce the service, make it more expensive or the tax payer subsidises it.  
    • Surely increasing profits are not the reason? It's more about  preventing massive losses? You can't keep things going at vast expense because a few people still use them. We would still be in the stone age. There are always going to be some people who find it hard to use "modern" technology (which has been going for decades). I would have thought the answer was for those people to learn how to do the things they need to do? I'm sure lots of help must be available?  I'm one of the ancient ones, and around the end of the nineties I went on a free course to be taught how to go online and use the internet. It was quite a steep learning curve, but so is learning anything new. So in previous years was learning to use a PC and word processing. So was learning Excel and spreadsheets.  If you need to use something, you have to learn how to do it! Some people may not have the mental  capacity to do this, but in that case surely they will be getting support in other areas of their daily life already? And as regards the possible  closure of the crown post office (note - possible) we don't know what alternative arrangements may be made should this happen, so it seems a bit premature to be protesting about it at this point.
