Have to say i love naff christmas decorations.

I was getting bored with the trendy designer christmas.

Colour coded decs in tune with decor in the living room.

And black christmas trees,really whats that all about?

After watching an episode of 'only fools' last year i decided to go for lots of diffrent colours and even the (naughty)ballons in the corner.

The kids loved it,was tacky and all that but what the hey!.

And as for outside the more tacky the better they all stuck up in my street and have no manners whatso ever,so anything to get there goat !!

I hope it does snow coz when over the road is out ,he will come home to a 6 ft snowman in the middle of his drive

Go and start building them ramps in your gardens now, you will need them with all the snow that's going to come our way in the next month!! Feet of the stuff I tell ya!! Going to stock the cupboard up with beans and sausages now, just bought 100 tins from asda!!

When the snow does eventually arrive, who's up for a stealth snowman competition? The aim would be to build one in any place other than your own garden or the local park. The more obscure or unusual the better, preferably a place which would make folk wonder where it came from. The only rules would be, it would have to be in a place which wouldn't cause a safety issue (clearly the middle of the road is a no go area). If you choose to build it outside your neighbour's garage doors so they can't get their car out, then any repercussions would be your's and your's alone to deal with - although the rest of us retain the right to giggle....

Any mischief maker, takers?

So building one on the A37 it is then... No one ever drives over that in bad weather anyway

Only if it's closed, awaiting the attention of the snow plough - then and only then can you build one in the chevroned bit at the top of Clutton Hill!

Thats not fair how am i meant to get down to clutton hill from the top if its closed... I think in front of the mendip inn at the crossraods is better I can walk to there, just need a netweather t-shirt to go on it!

[jethro]

Photo evidence required.

[Bumpkin]

Would definitely take you up on the offer Jethro if we get a decent snowfall. Will have to start coming up with some ideas...........

[Mark Neal.]

Seems interesting, i might be up for taking part in this but would need snowfall first

[london-snow]

All seriousness though if this cold spell ends up a bad one do the good deed and help the elderly and those vulnerable to get through...

[jethro]

If enough people are up for it, perhaps it could become a competition? Maybe various categories, biggest, silliest, largest group effort??? Extra points awarded if it gets into the local press??

Suggestions wanted from other silly people up for a laugh....

[Icequeen]

Great idea , I'm already a seasoned stealth snowman builder , I have been out at 2am with my friends in my younger days building random snowmen.....now I will get my kids involved :-)

[itsnowjoke]

I too get my kids up in the middle of the night because its snowing and actually STICKING.

Well you never know if it will melt or even get it again. This winter i would like to build a snowman and a snowwomen.

[quantock girl]

Love the idea! Just need the snow now.

My polish colleague had a call from his mum in Poland today because the polish met office have said that the uk will have the coldest winter for 100 years!! (Maybe they read the Express!)

Those polish know their snow... (disclaimer: i'd imagine it's fairly easy to predict there)
