    Hey all. I'm trying to organise some publicity for the book launch and thought the lot of us dressed up in santa beards would make a good photo op on the night (we need to give the press something). I'm off to ask on freecycle but if any of you could source some that'd be great. Anyone fancy approaching costume shop owners? Or if anyone else has suggestions?

    I've got a beard - got the full suit (secret santa gift last year). Should have seen my wife's face when she collected me at the train station late that night - with all the santa gear on :eek:

    :D

    But isn't it great to see some value for money finally coming back into the country. Even if we only got the night (or two) out of the outfit, where would you be going with no bell on yer bike :D I can see a cue ouside of Lidl's tomorrow for the outfits.

    i dont think it would be a bad idea to all dress as santas, raise publicity and all, have a gimmik like!
    and it would be a laugh!

    Nobody knows yet. One evening in two or three weeks. Possibly Friday to allow me to get drunk with red lemonade.
