Funnily enough, we were talking at the Xmas do the other night about chainstore Santa's no longer being able to touch children. When I was a little girl you used to sit on his knee and get a present and tell him what you wanted for Xmas, it was magical. I suppose stores and companys are afraid that their Santa's would inappropriately touch the children, but surely no-one would do that in full view of the parent(s). Like most of this PC rubbish, it has gone way too far. I do concede that Santa would be a perfect job for a paedophile, but considering that about 98% of children are abused by a relative or somebody they know and trust, it would be unlikely the average store Santa would abuse a child.
