Brighton is switching on its Christmas lights two weeks today on 15th November with a big name from the TV (cough* Anita Dobson *cough).

Should be a great occasion, with a Christmas/Winter festival following later in the month with traditional Christmas stalls themed around climate change, and a cash bar facility.

Still waiting for Lyme to announce details, think we are trying to get back the onthemarket.com choir who were hugely popular 2 years ago and rumours around the town that Lisa Stansfield will be turning on the lights which would be a mjaor coup for Lyme and Dorset as a whole it we pull it off.

:clap:

Sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off...
Having a load of unnecessary lights on all the time is hardly helping to cut carbon emissions..

Delete Christmas.

Fenwick's are unveiling their Christmas window at 7:30pm on Sunday, broadcast live via Facebook.

That's the start of Christmas in this part of the world.

John Lewis advert should be dropping on Monday next week, that's usually the signal for us to get our decorations out of loft and break open a box of mince pies and a glass of sherry.

C5 also starting their Xmas movie extravaganza from Sunday.

If you break open a glass of sherry, you'll probably end up with a puddle of sherry and pieces of broken glass all over your floor.

To each their own.

Back in Brighton. Well Hove actually
It's a shame we have to wait another year for Christmas Chronicles 3, but Anita Dobson is a great start to Christmas Season. Surprised Brighton have pulled in that calibre of celebrity... pulled out all the stops this year. Maybe her look-a-like husband will come too!

She is the big Panto star in the City this year but it could be worse - could be Alison 'fluffy' Ferns from BBC Sussex who is also in the panto.

Wow! I'd better get my sleeping bag and camp out for the next fourteen days to get a good spot! Good luck with getting Lisa Stansfield, as you say it would be a major coup to get an international star of that calibre. Maybe Dave at The Ship could invent a new cocktail in her honour? Forget lime and soda, how about a 'Lyme and Lisa'?

It appears many cities and towns are ditching the huge names they usually use to attract thousands into their centres to try and keep as covid secure as possible. Glasgow is one of many who have dispensed with the switch on in favour of a 'virtual' moment.

The Lord Jesus Christ himself could switch on the Christmas Lights in Brighton for all I care, it’s definitely not something that gets me excited enough to leave home for.
