- Thread starter LYNX1
- Start date
Have just been into Accy and some xmas lights have been put up.........hopefully this is just the beginning......coz the effort that I have seen today leaves a lot to be desired...........come on Accy u can do a lot better
Poor old HBC, trying their best,
Actually, being a bah, humbug type of guy, I wonder, do we really need such frippery when they always threaten at the first short fall such actions as:-
job's are at risk!
Maybe, just, maybe, sense should prevail and instead of the expense of such lights we should, (for example), keep cleaners on the streets?
Yes, O.K. it's only Less thinking, what difference would keeping our streets clean make towards pretending we want our kiddies to be delighted with a mediocre display?
One cleaner on the street versus little coloured lights? Could I please have the cleaner until we can afford the lights?
Less.............u never fail to amaze me.....talking sense again, when will it end lmao
Sorry, didn't mean to, I'll try harder next time.
I like the Christmas Lights ...
yep, so do most people . At Christmas time , not in October , must be the same brain addled fools who decorate their houses with out-side displays and thousands of colored lights , all cheap imported Chinese tat
Creep..........If Less went for council on that ticket......Failure.
What about fireworks to liven up the place?
What about prime time for the working population that no longer exists.
What about walking up any street in Lancashire without being in fear of some yobo taking a pot shot at you?
How would you as an individual like the council, on your behalf prepare for Christmas?
I know it is a cash cow for some, this year may be different.
Should we sit at home and be as we always seem to be, indifferent to what goes on around us?
Misery seems to be taking hold of our existance.
OK it rains a lot..........buy a pair of wellies.
Splash with the kid's you may enjoy it.

Ya' daft bat ... won't be switched on 'till ? November.
Anyway, what's £45,000 in the whole scheme of things ...

We have little Christmas trees up on the walls outside the shops, here in Lymm, but not until December. That's about it, as decorations go, except for the big Christmas tree on the cobbles next to Lymm Cross, again not until December. On Christmas Eve people gather round that tree and sing carols. It's lovely and old-fashioned and really captures the spirit of Christmas.
I hate the way Christmas gets earlier every year in the big towns. It's not "special" any more, just a spend-fest, and I avoid it all as much as I can.

How much?..............how many local traders would that subsidise in reduced rents?.....and they would probably put their own lights up.
Gosh, you came to that conclusion all on your own? Mummy must be proud!
Turns out we could buy lots of wellies to go play with the kids couldn't we?
Here have a Gold Star for effort, you deserve it!
Try not to slice anything minor when you cut it out and pin it to your chest.
Typical ex-pat statement.
I take it the UK was good enough for you while you were filling up your pension?
I do walk up the streets without being in fear.
Why not come back here and find out what it is really like. Or do you have to stay in Spain in case the try to land snatch you?
i wonder if they use energy saving light bulbs
I think you find it is "do as we say not do as we do"

Yes it was as was the six years in the Far East....Tax and insurance fully paid up.
I come back 4 or 5 times a year and don't like what I see.
I don't doubt that you have no problem walking down the street but nearing seventy years old I would have to think twice.
I have no fears about land grab....the young lady who owns the property we live in is Spanish.
