Thanks cherry.

I think it is disrespectful to christians to say winter lights and not be able to say Christmas lights.

I live in Brum and I thought we'd gone back to saying Christmas. A few years ago the council stopped even referring to Christmas - we had 'Wintervale' celebrations.

I think it's ridiculous - can you imagine if Christians protested against Sikh temples or Muslim Mosques displaying lights for their festivals? Every bleeding heart liberal in a ten mile radius would be yelling 'bigots'.

If we went to live in a different country do you think they would stop
referring to their religious celebrations as not to make us feel like
out or something.

Birmingham is a foreign country nowadays isnt it? In fact all of the Midlands is now more like Asia. Whole communities who cannot and WILL not speak English. It is not right.

Drop a few bombs in the right places.

Mustnt - cant get tagged a "racist" now can we. Ban christmas, ban childrens nursery rhymes... if a black person kills a white on a bus in london it is not a "race Killing" but a "Random Killing" the other way around and it is "racially motivated". What a load of boll*cks. Sooner or later people will stop putting up with this sh*te.

You can still buy them in antique shops but they are not in the toy shops etc

So did my mum. Saved the tokens from the Robinsons jam jars. Some bits go for a lot of money on eBay
