PharmaT - I agree. Christmas grottos not the same anymore. Did you see the film footage I posted the link to? Imagine a Santa arriving in Glasgow like that today 

Skoosh, obviously like St Enoch's station the Eagle will be long gone     I'm too young to remember the pub.....back then the only foaming drink I would be "swallying " would be Cremola Foam !

I'm too young to remember the pub too.  The elves and coachman don't look impressed in that video do they?

The Old Eagle apparently went back to 1818 so a bit older than Lewis's

My gran was a merchandiser (she offered customers free tasting samples of products) staff always looked very smart & professional
My dad had a monkey that eventually went to live in Lewis menagerie.
Like previous comments I loved to go to Santa coming to town parade.
