UK: Hairy fairy picks up the bill
A MYSTERY man called the Hairy Christmas Fairy has been splashing out hundreds of pounds spreading cheer to stunned shoppers. The beefy middle-aged man dresses in a pink fairy outfit including tutu, tiara, wings and wand, tiger-print pants and white fishnet tights.
Over the past few days he has paid for peoples shopping and handed out free lottery tickets in towns across Cornwall. Each time the 6ft 4in man in his 50s leaves a card with a picture of a fairy and a handwritten note saying: Youll be hearing a lot about me the Hairy Christmas Fairy. He first appeared in Warrens Bakery in Helston when he spent £40 on pies and pasties for every customer. Shocked shop worker Sonia Hocking revealed: He said, Its not a joke, or a hoax, I just want to buy everybody pies. We thought it was bit odd - but he said trust me. Every time a customer came in hed say lunch was on him.
He got a few odd looks but if someone is offering to buy you a sausage roll you dont say no. He was very friendly. The next day he showed up at Morrisons supermarket in Penzance where he paid for the contents of several shoppers trollies including a disabled pensioner. The day after he handed out free Lottery scratch cards outside a newsagent in Liskeard and bought teas and coffees in a cafe in Launceston. Morrisons said: The Hairy Fairy was here and caused quite a stir. Pix at link, and they promise a video later in the day, lol. Trust me. Posted by: .com 2006-11-21 |
