Where are they plugged in?
As Langporters and the town's visitors enjoy the spectacle of our Christmas lights this season - and let's face it they're the best we've seen for decades - questions are being asked about where the main cable for the silver chain along Bow Street and North Street is actually plugged in.
"I heard Scriven's had unplugged their mincing machine" said a passer-by, "Or has the Surgery turned off its 'Adult Only' screens in the waiting room?" said another.
"Nothing to do with us!" said a spokesman at Bibic, "been there, done that."
An inquiry's now underway to find out who's actually powering them.
Not everyone's welcomed the illuminations though. The Langport Arms has complained they're melting the gateau on the carvery, Langport Vet's says they're "throwing too much light" on their charges, staff at Chubby's say they're no longer sure "which way points to Mecca" and just last night a Ryanair jet caused chaos when it attempted to land on Bow Street...several pedestrians were injured and then charged extra when they tried to run for cover.
More details later.
