Christmas Display Comp
Following post by Ewwowar on another thread and with Admins approval I think a popular vote might not be a bad idea. I am slowly regretting starting this competition as there are so many excellent entries.
So .... if everyone wants to nominate their favourite in the three categories and judges can't make up their minds then we'll decide the winner by popular vote. Need to know by close of business hours Friday, say 6.00pm.
Three categories are Retail, Commercial and Pubs and Restaurants. Some premises do not have a shop window as such so include interior. Comp confined to town centre ie Fore Street to south, River lea to north, North Road to west and South street to east.
But in all these matters judges decision is final.

Retail: Wiggintons........the reindeer are great.

Pub: The Barge, by far. (It makes me feel like I'm in the States again[:D]! No really, I love the Barge--it makes walking home in the dark so much more enjoyable and festive. It also helps illuminate my bathroom...)

One other thing about Wiggintons.........the almost sinister fantasy window display on the Dead S****y side of the shop. Enough to give you nightmares.........
Next time you're there.......have a good look at the display.......then look down at the frosted window into the basement. If you look carefully you might be lucky enough to see the old fellow down there and his elves busying themselves making toys for Christmas.

Can we please give - points for the use of inflatable Homer simpsons dressed as father xmas! They are horrible, not seen any around Hertford yet but if you travel along the A10 after Cheshunt they are everywhere. I'm having visions of xmas day with Homer Simpsons flying all around us, I do hope no hellium has been involved in putting them up!

I suspect the Cheshunt residents they have been shopping in Crews Hill, you can get a wide range of "alternative" and less traditional decorations etc there
