I've only seen the adverts for these shows, so I haven't checked the credits to be honest. I assume that people working on these shows use made up names, I can't believe anyone would attach their real identity to these televisual abortions.
What's your real name Renegade Carpark?

Colonel (Mrs. Ret. DFC)
Went to park with kids to watch big lights in the sky, advertised for half seven started at ten past eight. Bloody freezing, had to buy twelve quids worth of plastic lighty up crap for them to wave around. Youngest petrified by noise and crying. Funfair, more expense. Grumble, grumble, humbug, grumble!

Sounds like Ally Pally.

So, all-in-all, a success?

It's funny you know, but that never hapens to me.
Perhaps it's as a result of me gazing straight n their eyes and giving my little wink to them. Also, I tend to stick my tongue slightly out whilst rolling it around my lips as they deliver the food that does it?
They never come anywhere near my f**king table after that - not even with the bill. I've even seen some young girls resign on-the-spot.
That explains my tendancy to balloon in size a little at times - lots of free food!

We had a fire, sat around it toasting marshmallows and watched the fireworks everyone else was letting off. No driving, no overpriced light sticks, a pleasant time for all.

You seem to have it sorted, I envy you!

I'm too jaded from organised events to want to endure another one in a hurry. On balance, it's usually not worth the pain. You didn't mention having to queue to get into/out of the car park, so it couldn't have been all bad.
Next year we are going to attempt to take the kids to Lewes, which will involve a lot of planning, the stocking of provisions, and a commitment to spending several hours out in the cold. Lewes is different to the sort of event you went to, in that it's an extraordinary scene of near-anarchy, where hundreds of weird people conduct torch-lit processions, and an effigy of the pope gets burned every year. Hard work, but memorable.

I know the area really well, so know all the parking places that others don't, that at least was pain free. The older I get the more I dislike crowds of any kind, so its just me being grumpy really. The oldest girl and her friends enjoyed it, but my three year old was scared as well as tired, he's like me he'd rather be at home. I can see the appeal of Lewes, but I find people in my city, Manchester, just turn up for the sake of it, the rush to get out of the park was ridiculous, again people barging and pushing and frightening my three year old again, as Robert Wyatt said 'Is it worth it?'
Christmas ads. Also decorations been up in public places already. Fairly sure I was complaining about the same thing a year ago. Stupid time.
What does Christmas look like in Australia, what does a Christmas card look like?
