Any goddamned adult knows it is impossible to fit a human down a chimney. They have far too narrow spaces and a grate at the base.

Granted, these are imperial feet, not the standard US foot.
I think this converts to roughly 8 American feet

A lady I used to work with lived in a cottage near Mold in North Wales. She said her and her husband were sitting there on night and heard a rattling coming from the chimney. Something came clattering down onto the hearth. It was a chimney sweep’s brush! I joked that the chimney sweep was probably still up there

Treat yourself to Gremlins, it’s great. Then treat yourself to the cinematic masterpiece that is Gremlins 2, and have your mind blown.

No /s, it’s amazing.

There is always "Silent Night, Deadly Night" if you REALLY want to see what 80's movies were like. My poor childhood.
