Oh god, it's that time of year again...where townie families compete with their neighbours to see who can affix the largest neon-flashy-light-things to their crappy council houses, in a 'celebration' of all that is xmas (like Santa in a helicopter...riiiiiight).
You should try getting a train to Brum of a December nighttime. Going through Tile Hill is really quite spectacular - this tiny, backwater road is transformed into a veritable runway with xmas lights...like the death strip at the Berlin Wall or something...
