[snapper_37]

and we have a winner...,

Not quite, IMO....

Camp as pink chiffon and hilarious.

Yup, sorry Chris, this year only - after all we had Blazin' Squad last year who I think everyone will agree are 'special'

I'm living in hope that local hero Wagner will do the lights in Brierley Hill, if indeed they have such things, which i doubt.

Street lights? I doubt it in Brierly Hill.

Who?

Showing me age again....

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Who?

Innit

 

[Piemaster]

Zoe Ward.


Who?

Instead this year, the honour of switching on Hull's light fell to 33-year-old cancer sufferer Zoe Ward.Devastatingly, the west Hull mum-of-six has been told by doctors she may not make it to Christmas and so the chance to be the star of the show and create a very real, abiding memory for the rest of her family was a lovely touch from the council organisers.

Someone for who its more than just a chance to make a few quid and remind the world how important a celebrity they are

Checked yours theclaude as you're too shy to say even though you probably organised it. Anyway in Swansea it was Santa! I ask you, what the hell has that got to do with Christmas?!!

 

[ThePainInSpain]

What a total waste of money, in these times, or even less austere times.

Thankfully in Spain we don't get all that boll$$s at Christmas.................







just about every 6 weeks for their bloody religious ferias................

 

[Kirstie]

Nobody famous is turning on Lutterworth christmas lights...but they are being switched on tonight. I might go down to feel festive, but then again I might not!

 

[longers]

Peppa Pig turned them on in Oldham.

The Krankies,last Sunday in Glasgow George Square

I was behind the Krankies in a queue at a services on the M6 a few years ago. The woman one was giving the poor serving girl hell about the lack of free magazine in the Daily Mail. I didn't realise them until afterwards, I just thought they were horrible people, too bad there weren't any ladders around....

The best (and only) light turning on I saw was in 2000 (I think) when we went to see the Chuckle Brothers turn on the lights in Mablethorpe.

 

[Biscuit]

Mark Murphy.

Nope, not the legendary American Jazz singer born in 1932, but this waster from radio local.

 

[Over The Hill]

Basingstoke had Wendy Craig who we are also blessed with as the star of the local panto.

But hey it is a step up from last year's Anna Karen (Who played Olive in On the Buses 40 years ago)
