    Default Council Estates & X Mas Lights

    Why is it that all of the surrounding council estates where many people are unemployed they seem to have enough money to make there houses blind you when driving by with X Mas lights and figures?

    + The cost of the power to run those things much send the meter round pretty quick, anyne else experiance this kind of abnormal behaviour?

    In todays Sun there's an article on this, some guy who has 8 kids, doesn't work, but has spunked something like £20 000 on lighting his house up "like Las Vegas on steroids".

    lol... I see this all too often especially in deprived area's... still gets me... the fact that they cant work but have thousands of pounds worth of lighting etc...

    I think in these cases there should be impromptue visits from manweb in the evening when thier lights are in full swing

    The reason behind this is that they turn their electric meter's round the other way so it goes in reverse, thus giving them incredibly cheap electric bills!!

    This really gets me, theres all this talk of people having to work till there xx age because theres no money, but all the scroungers, which round my way is mostly Immergrents who cant even talk fucking english, get all there shit paid for them, they have all the xmas lights, the best most expensive fireworks etc, why should they? The dont work, all they done is either come from another country, or got loads of kids.

    lol nice idea so this disease of poor people with 1000’s seems to be spreading, we will have to post pictures of them when they finally finish putting them up. Maybe that’s why they don’t work it takes um 6 months to take um down and same again to put them all up?

    I think this is on the same sort of level as people who drive cars with their fog lights on in the daytime/evening. "Look at me everybody I suffer from Attention deficit disorder weee!!!"

    TIP: Even if your a nobody, you to can still get noticed even if you drive a heap of shit - turn those fog lights on!
