Topic : Help needed for silsden christmas lights |
|
| BMWR1100SS |
As you all know its coming towards that time of year again...(obviously christmas)...and on the 21/22 of november silsden christmas lights will be being put up around the town...unfortunatly once again not all the lights will be able to be put up..due to bradford council again....but we can make the most of a bad situation....so we are asking for all the help we can get..generaly to help carry boxes,bulbs,wires, and hold ladders or go up ladders...please help us make silsden look the best we can.... |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) Hi can you tell me why we can't have all of the lights up this Christmas and why Bradford Council are to blame. It was such a shame not to see them last year. |
|
| BMWR1100SS |
in regards not being able to put all the lights up...as far a i know..that when bradford council have to replace any of the lamp posts in silsden(and there has been quite a few) then when the put the new post in they dont replace the power plug at the top of the post for us to plug the feature in..we have asked bradford to replace the plugs on to the new posts but we are told due to new regulations blah blah blah...they cant or wont...and yet they wont tell us what the new regs are....we have asked for the man concerned to attend any council meeting to discuss but we never seem to get a response or attendance to any meetings...nice for you to ask tiger..will you be coming down to help when we put them up... |

I may be able to help out on the 21st if I'm not booked up already, I'll check and post again. What sort of times will you be wanting people? |
|
| Tiger |
Thanks for the information, the lack of lights makes sense now. Sorry I can't help to put the lights up as I have caring responsobilities at the weekend. Anyway being a female I'd bound to come out with a "How many men does it take to change a lightbulb" comment. |
|
| do-gooders |
if various attempts have been made to contact the person in charge at bradford,why dont we name and shame him in the kly news,we all know that nothing ever gets done unless we force them..... its the people of silsden that are suffering,come on silsden lets pull our finger out and get something done..... PS.. the town council should pay and name and shame .... |

tried out the new ladders this aft dogooder says they will do see you all in the morning |
|
| wilma |
Sorry guys - where do you actually mean by "top of the town", Punch, co-op ? Please specify. You WILL need your rain coats - very heavy rain coming in from 12noon - 5pm. Guess you had better get cracking early in the morning |
|
| skippy |
just had a phone call of an offer to help in the morning meet from the town hall upwards, we will be the ones getting wet wont we grandad |
|
| grandad |
With a bit of luck, no we won't, our wet weather gear might be but hopefully we will be dry inside it.for a bit anyway! Don't forget the German electricians moto, "Many Hans make light work." |
|
| Peter |
I think you should be plugged in for that one grandad.  |
|
| jimmy |
Lights are looking good.....well done all you that worked in this awful weather. |
|
| skippy |
peter nan wont let us plug grandad in  says she still loves him lights are up lets hope they all work some may not be lit up tonight as mick needs to set the timers but he will make sure they are tommorrow as long as the electrics are correct 2 nice men from bradford council have been today and replaced what they already knew were wrong mon we will know what needs replaceing, then we shall endevour to get them done for the market a big thank you to ALL WHO TURNED UP TO HELP TODAYwhat you say grandad |
|
| alan |
Brilliant job, three massive cheers for grandad, bmw, skippy, and all the other helpers May give you all stick at times but we're lucky to have people who give so much in the town |
|
| grandad |
Peter I don't think they got the joke? Yes Alan and Skippy it was very good of all the new helpers to come along to give us a hand! To all of you I hope you found it an enjoyable experience, I know that the first time doing this can be a bit off putting, you are not sure what to do and it may look as if we don't really apreciate you, but believe me when I say YES we do. some of the lights have already come on tonight, their timers must have been set by the lads from Bradford, unfortunatley it looks as if we have a problem with the power to the string of lights above Sams |
|
| grandad |
I continue, Mike and I will be going round all of the timers in the morning (10AM) to check/set them, if the one above Sam's cafe is not working I will need to drag the cherry picker out then go up to try and fix them, I think I know what the problem might be, I already have one volunteer but could do with one or two more to watch the traffic. |

Grandad - nowt to do with the lights, but I have a steel spare wheel for your car - rim only - do you want it? Free to you, and may have the odd spare wheel cover as well Sorry Peter, I know I'm off topic but keep forgetting to tell grandad! |

quoteYou dirty minded bunch of so and so's, ask any child and they will tell you he is waving and walking! sorry about some of the lights being out we will hopefully get them all on for the St Market. Not what I've heard kids saying he is doing |
