France & Germany Star £10 - 15

Burma Star £10 - 15

Santa is being told to shift the pounds before Christmas - because the obese saint is failing to set a "good example" for children.

- Santas in Australia's largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas's traditional "ho ho ho" greeting because it may be offensive to women
