Default Xmas lights

When is the best time to take down Christams decorations and the lights?

I cant help but notice the Scoobtnet lights are still up........ if they are anything like my local council it will be March until they get taken down.

I also wonder if there is a health & safety risk assesment for taking them down? Will they use a ladder or cherry picker? Isolate the power supply?

Lets see what happens?

They're supposed to come down on the 12th night, or the 6th Jan otherwise it's bad luck for the whole year. Looks like SNet is gonna have a bad year

Oh dear, you've given them idea's Mind you, WRXewl seems to have a soft spot for them. Perhaps he's responsible for nicking the snowmen

Doesn't a sense of humour involve saying something funny?

Sorry, Milton Keynes is there or there abouts
