Man With A Pram for Christmas switch-on

The Issue

Sheffield's big Christmas switch on has left the city scratching their heads and asking the question, "Who is Stooshe?"

Where once the big switch on left the city glowing with pride it now fails to even spark an ember. Every year the quality of 'celebrity' the council secure for the big switch on goes further and further downhill, with numerous X-factor winners and now one hit wonder Stooshe, a band formed following a series of auditions and scouting in Topshop stores. 

It amazes the city that their own council couldn't even book a celebrity from there own city, many of which have their own star outside the town hall,  or a local idol who puts others first.

Sheffield has now had enough and want a true hero to turn their lights on.

That hero Is John "Man with the Pram" Burkhill, a charitable and caring man who tirelessly raises money for Macmillan all over the city.

People would love to see him press the button and I'm sure he would happily do it for a donation for Macmillan [instead of wasting thousands of pounds on another one hit wonder].
