No Bloomin' Way

As part of my Christmas lessons I decided I wanted to show my students the Father Christmas movie I used to watch at home. I knew they wouldn’t be able to understand all of it but I thought they would enjoy it. I ordered a copy from Ebay but was disappointed to find that it was the American version and not the British one.

They completely ruined it! All of the humour and everything that makes the movie fun and special was gone. They took out anything to do with the word “bloomin” and any reference of drinking was also gone. It was completely boring and so I decided not to show it. Maybe I can get my hands on a British version for next year!
