I think a lot of people didn't know about it there wasn't the normal christmas light crowds. i got to see the parade from the start point outside bluecoat then wizzed round to oposite McDonals to get front row for the actual switch on with 3 children in toe. the main crowd who got to see it was latenight shoppers geting prevented from walking to get to L1 i think. i only heard about it on radio when taking the children out so fitted in great. shame you would have missed it anyway it was a much better idea hope they do something like that next year too.pipsqueak wrote: I hadn't even realised the lights were being switched on last night! Oh well, I normally try to avoid these things anyway (too busy for my liking) and I was still at work until after 10pm so I would have missed it. The parade does sound like a much nicer idea than the usual way they do it.
Asda have an offer on a digital photo frame £30 instead of £60 but lookin currys/ comet last year they had one that you can hook up your ipod/ mp3 and had a SD card slot that was quite cheep
