Mystery Santa dishes out tenners

A MYSTERY man has been playing Santa - and dishing out £10 notes in Oldham town centre!

An envelope containing a tenner and bearing the messagewords “N-Joy” was given to one reader, along with a “Happy Christmas” wish.

The surprised reader spoke to another shopper who also got an envelope while shopping in the Spindles shopping centre.

The reader said: “Over the last five years I’ve not had the best of times. I was beginning to lose faith in society.

“I just want to take this opportunity to thank the person for the act of kindness. It put a smile back on my face and restored some faith that kindness still exists.”
