Most annoying thing driving along this Xmas
Discussion
There's a pub round here which is on the inside of a left-hand bend. It has 500W halogen floodlights illuminating the beer garden bit out the front, even in this weather. One of them is nicely placed to shine in your eyes as you come round the bend and stop you seeing people pulling out of the car park just round from it...

Sounds like a candidate for
only joking officer
My friends mum is from Columbia and she always wants to decorate their house with lots of lights, although neither my friend or his dad really want them so they usually just end up with a few. I think it must be something else that we've picked up from the US judging by what she was saying. Have got to say that unless it's a comedy santa that looks like he's got caught in an "unfortunate" position from some angles (humping a chimney / rudolph etc) then not a fan.
Saying that we put a few lights in our back garden on a really nice 10' fur tree. Subtle white that dim themselves. Not very bright and not visible from the road.

The houses round here are populated by a 50:50 split of students and chavs. The chavs have absolutely no taste, so every other house has its entire fascia covered in 'Christmas bling'. Worst one has to be a one-piece illuminated moulded crib scene, stuffed in a rabbit hutch with hay on top of someone's garden shed. Tasteless beyond reproach

Our local chav estate is lit up like the proverbial christmas tree. For people who are (im making a sweeping generalisation here) generally poor, they dont half spend a lot on christmas tat for their houses.
The mind boggles
They like to convince others that they've got loads of money by excess over quality. Same with these rappers who've forgotten the roots of hip-hop as punk-like protest and like to not only buy expensive cars, but cover them highly visibly in even more obviously expensive tat.
Like the Wing'd Horse of Chavtat - chavs buy those and stick them in their windows, saying - LOOK, LEAD CRYSTAL! Even though it isn't, and it's minging.
My problem is that it's become trendy to the point where good taste doesn't get noticed as it isn't loud enough.

things like this don't bother me in the slightest.if someone has a different taste to me then good luck to them.as long as they're happy and having a great xmas more power to them.
its up to others to decide whats best for them and not up to me to worry about it.
