I went through Hungerford with my daughter tonight and it was a real treat to see what they've done for Christmas (lights/ decorations). Then you go through Newbury; what a pigs ear.
How come they can manage it and we can't? What we got looks like a blind and deaf man and his dog did.

As a multi-cultural society it should be banned!

But yeah i do agree, would be lovely if every shop down Northbrook Street had christmas lights on in different colours, or the same colours... that would brighten Newbury up a treat. But, considering the issues we are having with saving electricity and not leaving lights on.... can't have that now can we

They probably wouldn't, however, in the Newbury case I think they picked the worst one ones out of all the good deaf people and their dogs to do our decorations. And don't forget in the Newbury case he was also blind... the dog wasn't too well either. |

If he was blind and deaf as stated, he would probably struggle a bit.
