You're so right there - remember the excitement years ago when they switched on the old gaudy lights, now they just "blend in" really as you say
I went to the switching on of the new lights with my parents and daughter, and there was great excitement as the street had just been refurbished. The whole street counted down from ten, all bellowing when we got to one, and then they just kind of barely flickered on .... Bloody energy saving bulbs! We all fell about laughing.
So we still have the same ones and I hate them. They are just so cold and horrible. Bring back the lovely colourful ones I say. I do like the lantern ones they have by Paul street sometimes. They look lovely in the narrow streets

Had the exact same experience! Everybody was all excited and ready to go "oooh, aaah" when they were turned on and instead there was a collective sigh of disappointment

I had previously posted asking about where to buy a Christmas tree. Well, it turns out my OH found a 6ft pre-lit tree in the attic of his apartment! (He only recently moved into) I was so happy when he told me Now I don't have to run around town and buy one AND lug it all the way home! He also found 2 boxes stuffed with random Christmas decorations left behind from other tenants. I'm just delighted because it makes my life a little easier!
