BT brings Santa to Bluewater...
"Sending that letter to Santa used to mean pen, paper and some bad handwriting, but it's now moved into the interconnected wireless age.
Children (and adults!) at the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent can email him using wireless broadband before meeting him in his grotto. BT have teamed up with the centre and while waiting in the queue, his helpers will pass around with laptops so you can mail him directly at father.christmas@bt.com.
This means that when dads who ask for a new Lamborghini Diablo, Santa's helpers will have time to rush out and get one before you sit on his knee!
“BT is working with Bluewater and Motorola in helping even Santa to join the hi-tech world.”
Chris Clark, CEO, Converged Mobility Operations at BT Retail
Yeah, ok. So the kent-area-commuter-belt people who cleared out our jobs this week can now take their kids to see Santa, partly thanks to BT.
Now we know why the need for savings was needed, but why so shortly after this press release (which I've just google-d up) ?

But still, if the money is being spent on laptops for Santa's elves, it's money well spent... can you detect the tone of my voice from there? You can? Well, how about this... Suzy wants for Christmas... her job back... and we'll take it from there...
