Mr Bear Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I just thought I'd mention that the Christmas lights in Ramsey are being switched on this Saturday (19th Nov 2016) at 4.30pm at the old Ramsey Courthouse. (General entertainment from 2pm) It's notable that unlike the majority of big UK displays, the switch used to turn them on is actually real in Ramsey. It does actually electrically turn their control circuit on. That's actually pretty rare. Even in Glasgow we faked it on the big George Square switch-on. I'd be poised with the master fader on the lighting desk listening for the countdown reaching zero, and the switch on the stage would just be a huge inactive prop.

Mr Bear Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Yeah. That's when commercial Christmas starts. It's the best bit, since the day itself is a humongous anti-climax followed by the 12 days of disillusionment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bear Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 What the tree really needs is a "gay bit" on top. (I put that on the George Square Xmas tree in Glasgow to see if anyone would notice.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bear Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 pretty sure it's a fake switch... It appears that it may now be fake since the renovation works removed some of the original control wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
