A photograph from the Daily Herald Archive showing Father Christmas riding a motobike with a large teddy bear in the sidecar, a red London bus is behind. Taken by Fox Photos, 17 November 1949.
A sled and reindeer are awkward when it comes to negoitiating Oxford Street traffic, so Santa Claus (Alfred Snell of London) chose a Corgi motor bike with side car for his toys, today (Thursday).
