#BTXmas

Last year the inestimable @thomasterrier organised the first ever Christmas party for the #BTposse which he named #BTXmas...and, blow me down, if he didn't do the same thing for us all before Christmas....a great night was had by all....you can still see all the fun of the show if you check out #BTXmas on Twitter.....the BT HQ staff performed a little pantomime....and I am showing it to you here for those who couldn't make it on the night.....we were very proud to take part and over £500 was raised for doggie welfare charities.....

Hello my friends...*waves*...and welcome to Clapton and the Beanstalk!! #BTXmas

Little Clapton Terrier lived at home with Old Mother Lola.....they were very poor....#Lolafallsonhardtimes #BTXmas

Old Mother Lola worried & worried the only means to provide for noms was milk from the family cow, Daisy #lookwhoitis! #BTXmas (p.s for those who don't follow him on Twitter that ape is the Typist....)

On the way to market 1 day...Little Clapton met a cunning old military dog who offered to swap Daisy for magic beans... #BTXmas (hee hee...its the Colonel in disguise!!)

Little Clapton’s mum was not best pleased.....she threw the beans out of the window into the garden...#austerityBTHQ #BTXmas

... overnight they grew into a beanstalk stretching up into the sky....#whathaveyoubeendrinking? #BTXmas

..at the top of the beanstalk Little Clapton found a huge Castle... where lived the Great Ogre Marley...#sacrilegesurely? #BTXmas....

...the Great Ogre Marley had a chicken that laid golden bones....#itshimagain!! #BTXmas

....”Come with with me little ape..er...chicken”.......*run run* ...CAN ANYONE SEE THE OGRE?? #BTXmas

..quick as a flash  he was down the beanstalk with the golden bone-laying ape...er...chicken...*whacketty WHACK* went the axe #BTXmas

...down came the beanstalk...and the Great Ogre Marley was no more.... #BTXmas

.....and they all lived happily ever after at BT HQ.... *bows.....* #BTXmas
