Remember when the Coop used to put this inflatable Santa on its roof?

A mate of mines company had hired the top floor / cocktail bar of the Royal Hotel ( now called the Crowne Plaza ) which was opposite the Coop. He was giving a presentation to Senior Managers at the company. The issue was the Managers were looking at the screen behind my mate with their backs to the windows, but my mate was looking out the window towards the inflatable Santa. Every so often the Santa would start to move in the wind and appear to dance and wave at my mate. He still does not know how he finished the presentation without cracking up. Taken in the 1990's
