It's well known that I need a rocket up my a**e some mornings to get me out of bed, well this mornings rocket arrived by yet another google alert [Asda Langley Mill] on my android jobby. I actually used a bad swearword whilst emerging from under the duvet.
Asda in LANGLEY MILL have yet again donated £2,000 to Eastwood's Christmas light switch on event. Bearing in mind - as I've mentioned before - that Eastwood is not only a different town - with its own superior supermarket - but also in another county with a different council. Incidentally, I've got absolutely nothing against Eastwood, but I think the needs of Heanor and Langley Mill are greater, as their lights are - in mine and all my friends opinions - abysmal.
Is Langley Mill going to get any Christmas lights this year? We used to have them, I presume that it's up to the parish council, but Asda has such a large footprint in our small town/village that you'd think they'd at least make the offer.
If I find that they have indeed offered to buy us some lights or sponsor any sort of Christmas lights event in Langley Mill [amidst the everlasting roadworks], I will blog accordingly. I may even apologise ... but don't hold your breath, as anything good they may do now will be outweighed by how much they annoy me on a nightly basis - yeah, yeah, when I'm here and not tin hutting by the sea.
I have been made aware that Eastwood possibly asked Asda directly for a donation. So I may pop over later and tell 'em that I need some party stuff for my Christmas lights switch on.
Yes, I know that the donation/sponsorship is for the 'switch-on' event and not for the actual lights, but if Asda give me £2,000 I'll at least make a bit of Langley Mill - OK, just a small part of Bridge Street ... at the top end - look pretty.
Anyway, the upshot is - that my grumpy old man has decided that if our Christmas lights are going to be in Eastwood, then that's where we'll do our shopping.
Morrisons here we come - [and just for Bernard] 'Running Back To You' ...

like this very much madam.you have a brilliant way with words.Think you may be shopping in Eastwood tho.Unless just for you,they may now light up Langley Mill.HOPE SO FOR YOUR SAKE.
ReplyDeleteI too would go running back to Morrisons, if I had to choose between them and ASDA. High Wycombe (about 8 miles from me) has both. Both have free parking - but, Morrisons doesn't have piped Musak, (which I hate) and, it does sell 'White Puddings', which I love!
ReplyDeleteActually the first tune that came to me was - "When the Lights of London Shine Again".
Not really applicable to Langley Mill I know - but a Golden Oldie which is part of my 'crumbly' & 'wrinkled' past. :)
