jezza, i browse with mozilla I figure you do too by your response. IE does show the images but Mozilla needs the plugin to view it. I am not a fan of IE.

lights are amazing
deb loves it,drags me round for miles looking at places like those. our local council council have put the mockers on a nearby street where residents used to sort of compete,saying they need health and safety or fire certificates of some sort.would cost them all loads so they dont bother now

it is indeed nick. the whole street took part,featured on gmtv one year.one or two ignore the warnings and put a few up still but nothing like what was. real shame as there are a few hard up families down there that took pride in being able to compete with some of the more well off areas round here.burnham on sea is a place we go sometimes,they have charity boxes nailed to walls etc so why cant nailsea? not looking for replies,just summizing.(if thats the right word?)

Brilliant Delboy. Hats off to you
Shame you're so far a way or we'd be round to have a look.
Darren, we had a local council that banned the word Christmas, replaceing it with seasons greetings. There were no town centre decorations to combat climate change, and schools were not allowed to have Christmas trees or classroom decorations.
They suffered a crushing defeat in the Council elections.

Derek,
Looking at the main lights photo I am guessing you are the house in the centre. That Cordy/palm is crying out for rope lights to be wrapped up it's trunks in spirals. I have seen that done in Madeira and it was rather efective (I can't find a phot right now to demonstrate).
I dread to think what your winter 'lecky bill is!
