We really made the effort to get a well known much loved celebrity like Ricky Tomlinson who turned Blackburn lights on. Who did we have...... a muslim..... I'm lost for words.

Town was full of them tonight!! That is the first thing I thought when I got into town..............OMG SOOOOOO many CHAV's in one place.


I did notice that in the observer last week it said there would be a crack down this year on kids with silly string, as it was costly to clean up afterwards.
My little boy had a go on a thing where you have to hit the button with a hammer and ring the bell. You win a prize. Loads of the prizes were silly string and the police were stood right next to this stall.
That was the other thing I noticed..............POLICE everywhere!!! it looked like a footy match. NOT on!! this is supposed to be a family occassion and the start of christmas spirit, shouldn't need soooo many police. Can't believe it's come to this
