Thanks for pointing that one out, it's gone straight to the top of my AVOID list, way ahead of the dross you'll normally find me ranting against ad infinitum!!!

Good effort from the Angel, but no cigar! Check out the Marine in Eastbourne!

"It took landlord Phil Saunders and more than 20 regulars a fortnight to put up 450 sets of lights around The Marine in Eastbourne, East Sussex."

Drive through there every weekday on the way to work and back, wouldnt be tempted to stop for any Christmas trees to be honest.

I would quite like to go in a really Christmassy pub like those shown on this thread.

Here's a Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2861389/Bar-wonder-Pub-Christmas-decorations-Britain-decking-6-000-baubles-27-000-lights.html) story about the Hanging Gate (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/7356/) in Chapel-en-le-Frith. 6,000 baubles and 27,000 lights!

How does ten minutes alone in there, with a tennis racket, sound? :evilgrin:
