lights.jpgEach year more and more houses are festooned with external Chistmas lights. I don’t want to sound a killjoy like the councils that make carol singers have entertainment licenses or the schools that forbid parents from taking photos of their children in the Nativity play. However, it does strike me as a bit odd that we are dashing around buying low energy light bulbs and turning off our TV sets rather than leaving them on standby whilst outside we are using enough electricity to power the whole of Oxford St!
