The couple in front told the bearded chap that their son was called Shug. Santa's face lit up and he declared: "Aw brilliant. That's ma name too!"

Shug minor turns to his mother and whispers: "Ah thought his name wis Santa" and with the quickness of wit for which Glasgwegian mothers are famed, she replied: "This is his brother. Santa's oan a break."
