Can't put up lights in galeforce winds unfortunately. The electricians were blown off the pitch there for the last few days so they missed the 8th turn on.

Damned health and safety mumbo jumbo - namby pamby.

Would you be afraid to go up a ladder in a force 10 gale with wind and rain all round as you plug in and wire up to 240 volts? I certainly wouldn't.

And sure won't the Baby Jesus be born anyways whether there are lights or not? It's the thought that counts isn't it?

The Tree on the Market Square is nicely lit.
