bit of a letdown this year, normally a riot of colour and noise moving sedately along, tonight just caught the engine from a distance even though i had turned the sound down from the box so that i would know of its imminent arrival.

I thought you turned all the lights out and hid behind the curtain, Howard.

May I translate Howard's title to correct English rather than his 'right on pc' gobbldegook.
........Firemen's Christmas Treat........
They do a great job for charity every year, no let down at all.....

thanks for the correction barry, much appreciated.
keith rightly asks the question "why was it such a damp squib this year"?
maybe they were wary of the road conditions?
having said that they went past so fast it was impossible to get a picture and thrust a used oncer into the bucket.

it is very atmospheric normally with all the lights and music against the background of darkened streets.
such a let down that it whizzed past like that, the little girl next door was looking forward to it.
