LOADED - The ship docks at Teesport
Giant container ship bursting with xmas gifts docks in UK
CHRISTMAS has arrived - as a giant container ship bursting with treats docks in Britain.
The vessel - dubbed Santa's Sleigh - was laden with toys, gifts and festive decorations for Tesco.
Among the haul was 60,480 crackers, 50,000 digital photo frames, 5,000 fake Christmas trees, and 500,000 Barbie Musketeer sets.
The container, which docked at Teesport, Middlesbrough this week, was one of the first shipments arriving from Hong Kong. A whopping 130 ships will dock here as the supermarket chain boosts its seasonal stock by a tenth.
The goods are taken to a distribution centre nearby - nicknamed Santa's Grotto and the size of 11 football pitches - before being sent around stores.
A Tesco spokesman said: "Operation Christmas is in full flow. We want our customers have the biggest and best Christmas yet."

This is terrible, what happened to British manufacturing? we should spend our money on gifts manufactured in the United Kingdom and not the far east...

Is this supposed to be good news? How much
are we exporting to Hong Kong/China? Zilch,
probably, since we have virtually no manufacturing
capacity remaining here now!
