: Storburty children become quite confused when, in the month of December, they see three Father Christmases (or is it Fathers Christmas?) heading for the public bar of the Horn of Plenty at lunchtime - but, of course, they're just three retired gentlemen who stand in for the real Santa in local stores in the festive season. From the clues given below, can you work out each Santa's full name, and the name and address of the store he works for?
: The first names are Alf, Fred, and Ted. The surnames are Frost, Snow, and Winter. The names of the stores are Letten's, Nadine's, and Thurlow's. The addresses are King St, Market Hill, and North St.
:
: 1. Fred is the Santa at Thurlow's, where he worked on 'goods in' before his retirement.
: 2. Nardine's store is on the Market Hill, in the shadow of the town's Christmas tree.
: 3. Mr. Winter, who doesn't play Santa for Letten's isn't employed by the shop in King Street.
: 4. Ted, who works for the department store in North Street, isn't surnamed Snow.
