Any chance of posting a picture , I cant see from here. At a guess, they're moons, although I've not seen any made by the major manufacturers.

ye well, I'm thinking of like santa on the moons, but yes your right, and I've never seen just moons, and I'm an expert on christmas lights.

I think the councillor that saw the lights mentioned was wired to the moon at the time which is why they were bought for accy town centre !!!

They must be bananas they seem to hang from a branch. Perhaps they represent Peter Brickthick.
Anyone seen anything of the traditional christmas crib this year?

I had a good look at them this afternoon, they aren't.

According to EEC regulations they are too bent to be bananas.

I thought they looked ok, if a little sparse.

Quote "so stan are backing my bananas claim ???????"

What else can they be but bananas???
I don't see what bananas have to do with christmas though.
They are to bent to be candle flames and moons would be a bit heathen for christmas lights wouldn't they?

Thanks WillowTheWisp, they must have only just put the crib there, it wasn't there last Sat.

I think this thread should be sent to the observer to investigate what they really are would make a good chrimbo story and it would also mean we will find out what they are !!
- and a bit of publicity for the board wouldnt go a miss either !!!!!

what do you say ?
if someone supplies me with an email addy i will do the rest !

Madhatter · 21-12-2005, 16:56

Yeh, that would be good heh.
Although I think I know the answer, and I've never seen them. Piccy please, thank you.

I've just seen the offending lights tonight and they certainly do look like bananas. However, a friend said they are supposed to be crescent moons. Personally, I hope they are supposed to be bananas, a much more interesting thing than stoopid moons.
