Has any town got worse Christmas decorations than Haywards Heath they are a disgrace and the council or whoever is responsible for them, would have done better to not put any up at all.

I want to know why Brighton had such a fanfare this year about the fact that they actually bothered to put some lights up.

Yet half of the lights across North Street don't actually work, and haven't done since they were switched on.

Nice one, Brighton. Make the effort for the first time in years, then do a half assed job about it

:lolol:

That's because everyone on the organizing committee had to wear a VEIL at all times and were forced to refer to their efforts as 'Multi faith mid winter atmosphere and light enhancers' whilst being banned from eating pork, drinking alcohol, singing carols or in fact doing anything except sitting in a chair quietly not thinking about Christianity.

It said so in the Daily Mail so it must be true.

I think that a poor showing of lights shows that the council are not really interested in improving the town in any way, even for a short period of time.

I drove through Rustington last night and was quite impressed with their lights in comparison, and taking into account the size of the town.

Any other towns out there worth a mention, if you're almost homicidally bored? I wonder what OVINGDEAN's lights are like.

It just so happens that my father in law died at this time of the year and my wife always wants to go to the harbour at Littlehampton where he had a boat and and stand and remember him for a few moments. We happened to drive home through Rustington.

Burgess Hill isn't too bad

Having said that a house in my road has ridiculous lights. Well you can't really make out the independant "design" of the lights, as there are so many, you just have a massive white glow.

A friend commented that their kids must love the lights; shame the youngest in the family is in their late 20s :shootself

Which road is that? There's some quality ones in Chanctonbury Road, but I'm lead to believe that the most lairy ones are usually in Maple Drive

:lolol:

I saw a house the other day that just had lights on it saying "HO HO HO" - nothing else.

I can't work out whether the person inside is likely to be a sinister humourless weirdo with all the ready wit of Ron Saunders attending a funeral, trying to make amends once a year - or whether this really was a warming message of seasonal bonhomie, an attempt to reach out to mankind via the medium of christmas decorations.

Either that or three prostitutes live there.

When it's quiet at work, we like to drive around the city in the cars, checking out Whitehawk & Moulsecoombe (sorry, but it's always the council estates that have the best lights) for their Blackpool Illuminations style displays

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Following on from stupid decorations, i saw a train in someones front window

I have no idea what relevance to christmas that has!

I must be in the minority in that I couldn't give a f^ck what decorations the council's put up.

I'd rather the money went into maintaining the roads.
