Any chance of posting a picture , I cant see from here. At a guess, they're moons, although I've not seen any made by the major manufacturers.

ye well, I'm thinking of like santa on the moons, but yes your right, and I've never seen just moons, and I'm an expert on christmas lights.

Re: accringtons x-mas bananas christmas lights
 

I think the councillor that saw the lights mentioned was wired to the moon at the time which is why they were bought for accy town centre !!!

They must be bananas they seem to hang from a branch. Perhaps they represent Peter Brickthick.
Anyone seen anything of the traditional christmas crib this year?

so stan are backing my bananas claim ???????

Re: accringtons x-mas bananas christmas lights
 

I had a good look at them this afternoon, they aren't.

According to EEC regulations they are too bent to be bananas.

I thought they looked ok, if a little sparse.

What else can they be but bananas???
I don't see what bananas have to do with christmas though.
They are to bent to be candle flames and moons would be a bit heathen for christmas lights wouldn't they?

Thanks WillowTheWisp, they must have only just put the crib there, it wasn't there last Sat.

Re: accringtons x-mas bananas christmas lights
 

I think this thread should be sent to the observer to investigate what they really are would make a good chrimbo story and it would also mean we will find out what they are !!
- and a bit of publicity for the board wouldnt go a miss either !!!!!

what do you say ?
if someone supplies me with an email addy i will do the rest !

Re: accringtons x-mas bananas christmas lights
 

Yeh, that would be good heh.
Although I think I know the answer, and I've never seen them. Piccy please, thank you.

I've just seen the offending lights tonight and they certainly do look like bananas. However, a friend said they are supposed to be crescent moons. Personally, I hope they are supposed to be bananas, a much more interesting thing than stoopid moons.

Re: accringtons x-mas bananas christmas lights
 

email sent - I will let you know whats said - if anything !

Re: accringtons x-mas bananas christmas lights
 

You know what! I cant think of one single christmas carol that mentions crescent moons!
Perhaps there is a gap in the market for a new christmas single.
Come on you Accy lyricists give it a try.

Re: accringtons x-mas bananas christmas lights
 

I've seen them, they're crescent moons under christmes tree branches, you've also got an accross street called a winters night that has three trees a stars and a moon. They do look like banana 's though.

Re: accringtons x-mas bananas christmas lights
 

of course - christmas moons !!!
how silly of me not to realise thats what they were !:rolleyes:

christmas moons under a tree branch - that old christmas thing that everyone has up in their windows....yeah fine whatever...only in accrington !!

christmas bananas rule !

Re: accringtons x-mas bananas christmas lights
 

Yes, well, I have seen moons, but only with stars, or a moon with snow flakes falling above trees, but I've never seen moons under branches, which makes it look like they're bananas. That frame would normaly be supplied with a bstar or bauble there to look like an ornament on the branch. I say we should call them bananas.
