I couldn't get rid of the reflection. It was either that, or if I took it from directly in front you got a lovely reflection of me looking slightly damp and bedraggled!

I haven't seen one in Ossy yet this year. I know it got smashed up last year, it was in the paper. I wonder if it will be replaced.

The Ossy crib is now in place near the co-op. I saw it today.

It did, you're right.

It was outside the market hall for years.

glad to see that the crib is now up in town.

you're lucky you've got one, I asked for money out of the council grant pot to put towards one and got told no, we can't be seen to be favouring one religion.

That's disgraceful Madhatter .. do they have the lights though ? If so, surely that's favouring Christianity and celebrating Christmas .. so what is the problem ?

Did I read recently where someone had stolen Baby Jesus from the crib in St. Anne's Square, Man .. ? Crackpots ...

How pathetic.

Not sure if one in Clayton yet .. think maybe in Barnes Square ? Will take a look asap.

Doesn't appear to be any lights though .. only a pathetic excuse for a single thread of white lights around the tree. Passed the other night when they were lighting them (I think that was what was going on ?). Couldn't imagine any 'Ooohs and Aaaghs' at this occasion..

Sure some sort of decoration down Pickup Street and Barnes Street, then onto Sparth Road would not have gone amiss, the hanging baskets certainly brightened these streets up in the Summer. Wonder how much we were allowed ?

I bet it would be even less as an "and district"
