Where once we had the full body meaty variety with wings aplently...
now we have....
and this...
GadzookS!! whats become of our display? it has shrunk to unparalleled dimensions. One gazed skywards today expecting to see the mighty wings of yore soaring above our heads...but alas no, our lights have been reduced to threadbare dimension. Our once noble display, switched on merely a few days ago by Ade the Celeb, is no more.
WE have suffered at the hands of nature. It seems the high winds soared beneath our wings ( see top picture) and dashed several examples to the ground, failing miraculously to injure anybody in the process. It appears that they have been removed.. so the health of the nation has been maintained but the christmas lights, as we knew them, are no more.
I blame global warming myself!! Producing endless high winds and miserable conditions, I look out the window as I write and the surf's gone mad.The first victim in this chaotic weather being our Christmas lights. I wonder if the Market Sq Christmas tree still stands erect and proud.
