Thank you for all your replies (well the sensible ones anyway) I won't be able to get out now but I will follow the trusted skewer method and do as 56cheffy says above, Merry Christmas to you all!

Forgot to get one of these, need it for Christmas day! Is there anywhere at Woodseats?

Yes, I got mine from Baldocks at Woodseats, they specialise in poultry even though they are also fishmongers, I know he's open tomorrow!

Yeah one outside my house gone the notice stuck on it said it would be replaced, as this was the right time of year to plant, it'll soon be too cold won't it? Can't understand why some have been left which look a bigger threat to my foundations, odd

liking your idea, seems a shame they were cut short in their prime, so looking forward to the Christmas theme, not enough of this sort of think to lift the dark winter days....

Lampost-elf you can't stop now, you'll have to find something similar on Chezzy Road, I'm sure there's lots of things you could do. Obviously someone has reported what you were doing and that's why they have fixed it, killjoys I was so looking forward to more of your work.

Ermm, think they meant to say TJ Hughes

I think it's all over......tonight I feel sure I saw it blocked off when I drove past, lampost -elf is this right? I can't believe there are such miseries out there who have put a stop to this if that's what's happened.

I'm annoyed at that, the lovely red sparkly bit was there this morning

Yay thanks! How about a cracker, or a candy red and white stick, or a candle? No, don't tell me I will look forward to the surprise, it must be costing you a fortune in paint!

Well done! I will look forward to seeing it on my way to work tomorrow, I was hoping for a Christmas theme though....

Why would you do that, it's a service you pay like everyone else has to?

Let me know what you think....

Hmmmm, I can't say as any of the other shops on that stretch do this, it just looks unusual, and an eyesore, I get your point entirely about Abbeydale Road it's just this shop stands out...

Wouldn't be so bad if it were like that, it's just junk, like a car boot sale.

Does the council allow shops to spill over and display their wares on the pavement? I don't know what they allow but a new shop has opened (it doesn't have a name above it) opposite the Sloan Medical centre/Lidl area, it looks a right mess.

Even when I spoke to retentions they didn't seem too bothered!

Lampost-elf thank you for being creative and original, look forward to seeing the latest designs, can we put requests in?

Or a Christmas Cracker?

I know it's a long shot, just wondered if anyone had any tickets for tonight's dress rehearsal?

Thanks Fantomas, usually driving!

I noticed it, love it!

They know this, it's so unfair when people are trying to budget, it's hard enough with energy bills but when people can't afford to go out you need TV and broadband! ---------- Post added 28-11-2013 at 22:53 ---------- Do you work for them? Don't be so naive thinking they actually give you FREE things, nothing is for free that's why they're whacking on the 10%

Just gave them a call, spent ages trying to reduce the package, they wanted me to have a TIVO box to hike UP the price at a discounted rate of £5 off, I said I'm trying to cut the bill not add to it after I explained we hardly watch all the channels anyway. Their best offer was £5 off for 6 months, in other words they will still increase in 6 but effectively 4 as you pay so far in advance, for example it's next month the price hike kicks in as that's when you pay for February. Oh and I get a whopping £10 discount for 22 years of loyalty otherwise it would be much more! ---------- Post added 28-11-2013 at 18:14 ---------- Good point, I pointed out it was a 10% hike when I have effectively had a pay but for the last 5 years.... ---------- Post added 28-11-2013 at 18:19 ----------
