Shame.
They were up so long, and it'll be soon be time for that highlight of the social calender when some numpty from the council flicks them back on.

Now don't start, some clever soul down at the council did a Time and Motion on the erecting and dis-assembling of the christmas lights and they found:-
1/ If when you take them down you can never get them back into the box they came in then:-
2/ The Council would have to purchase a very large sideboard to keep the lights in until next year.
3/ On putting the lights up again they have found the cost of untangling them is too much and that there is always one light that needs replacing, (and their electrician always found it to be the last one that he tested).
SO
4/ By leaving the lights up all year round they can save enough to pay for the Councillors christmas bash! (You've got to admit that must be one hell of a saving).
