Chrismas Lights

[Nancie]

Thought this thread was called 'Christmas Lights'

Watch what you say seemingly some daft MP is trying to do away with the saying christmas lights and wanting them called winter lights. This is because it might upset some of the ethnic groups in this country.

This was nothing to do with an MP, but they were called "winter lights" in an advert for the turning on of the Christmas lights in Lambeth, prepared by a junior official in the council. It is not council policy for them to be called Winter lights. This story was then picked up by that guardian of all things righteousness, the Daily Mail and as usual blown out of all proportion with very little truth in the matter but just another anti-immigrant rant by them. This story was run also on BBC London news (which we see in Amsterdam) after the incident with the adverts shown but of course no withdrawl of the story by the Daily Mail.

Dont like the PC brigade at all myself and have seen enough of their nonsense here in the Netherlands but I detest even more sloppy journalism by right wing publications which are content to sensationalise the most pathetic little incident.

Now would be nice to get back to the matter in hand - the switching on off the Christmas Lights in Campbeltown.

I thought it was deek from river city that was turning them on or maybe it was Deek from Stewarton i forget

[Sweltered]

The wee toon must be as boring as I remember, perhaps more so, when people are getting exited about Christmas lights.


Maybe if we put up lights, the ferry will come back

Sweltered, thats what its like in wee towns like that, back in scotland, its about all thats exciting about it. Have you not noticed the amount of locals who are exported out of the town, makes you think, whats going on, when everyone and thier granny wants out.
Scally wag, let them have their say, you get the chance to have yours. Just because your still there does not make it the place to be, does it.

[Ship called Dignity]

Folks lets not go here.

Sweltered,

Your probably right, but from your point of view you must be hoora boring yersel when your sitting in florida commenting on a wee toon thousands o' miles away getting excited aboot christmas lights.

[Sweltered]

Calm down people!!

Did I hit a nerve!

I never mentioned parades or pipebands, I was commenting on lights.

It's great for the KIDS they enjoy a parade and all the hoopla,
I'm all for celebrating and honouring the World Championship Pipeband, after all I have 2 nephews in the band and I'm sorry I won't be there to hear them play.

However, my point remains the same, it must be helluva boring in Cn when you get this worked up over LIGHTS!

Not just the weans, bubbly. From the town hall upstairs window which is my usual viewpoint, the whole of Main Street is filled from top to bottom with people, children, adults - several thousand of them. Are they all boring? Or is it just you?

Missing the point as usual Nancie, it's not the people who are boring, not the lights or the parade that is boring.

And scallywag: I don't get your point, "ITS NOT JUST IN A AMERICA THAT EVERYTHINGS BIGGER" What are you suggesting? And what am I supposed to "USE" Did you mean youse. I hope you were not in Nancie's class.........

Gus perhaps you need to be a few thousand miles away to be subective. And yes it can be just as boring here. So?
