Hairy fairy picks up the bill

A mystery called the “Hairy Christmas Fairy” has been splashing out hundreds of pounds spreading cheer to stunned shoppers.

The beefy middle-aged man dresses in a pink fairy outfit including tutu, tiara, wings and wand, tiger-print pants and white fishnet tights.

Each time the 6ft 4in man in his 50s leaves a card with a picture of a fairy and a handwritten note saying: “You’ll be hearing a lot about me — the Hairy Christmas Fairy.”

Shocked shop worker Sonia Hocking revealed: “He said, ‘It’s not a joke, or a hoax, I just want to buy everybody pies.’ We thought it was bit odd - but he said ‘trust me’. Every time a customer came in he’d say lunch was on him.

“He got a few odd looks but if someone is offering to buy you a sausage roll you don’t say no. He was very friendly.”
