Long Eaton is Derbyshire.  I live in Beechdale, but spend most of my time in Strelley with my girlfriend.  Where did you live?


West Bridgford, and then Lenton Abbey. Those two places would probably prove your theory about posher areas having less gaudy decos!


P.S. Long Eaton is historically in Derbyshire but has been considered part of Nottingham since county boundaries were last redrawn, Just to be pedantic

I think it might be the other way round.  Long Eaton is absolutely 100% in Derbyshire.

I like it when you can see the tree through peoples windows, that always looks nice. I am not a big fan of the big light displays but each to their own.

I leave my curtains open in the middle so people can see the tree.  I also have a small light display on the balcony.

Me either. My favourite character is Nan - 'what a f**king liberty!'


We will be selling Nan and Lauren dolls at work next year, yay!
