Margalot Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Just thought it would be a fun thread!.......... not saying that the celebrity you get reflects in any way on your local town, but just who is switching on your local Christmas lights? Here in Swindon, we have...........Keith Chegwin says is all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margaret Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 "Ooops, word censored!"ody But would have the lovely Mr Titchmarsh if I could. Especially if it was the ones in my front room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Chooky Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 You think Cheggers is bad...apparently we've got 'Stavros Flatley' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I've just Googled our local town but can't find any info, so I guess we're too unimportant to get a Z-lister to switch on our Christmas lights The nearest city to us is Peterborough where apparently Chico will be switching on the Christmas lights!

snowberry Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 One year in our village, we had the local 'character' farmer/s"Ooops, word censored!" man. Probably chosen to keep him sweet as he had been linked to a number of arsons over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forestchook Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 in my home town of Bath...drum roll, apparently it's Nicolas Cage! Blimey! Are you sure? I thought it was him last year. Maybe that was the year before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 We lucky people in Redcar have 'a secret celebrity guest' Sooo, could be anyone...I dread to think Cathy X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertie Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Booo! I think you are right Forestchook!, it was 2009! The article I just read said 2012 but further investigations suggest Matt Baker from the One Show. Not sounding quite so Hollywood now! I won't be going anyway!!

Maybe they forgot to book someone and are frantically ringing round! Perhaps Stavros Flatley could hot foot it over there after his other gig! Either that or its someone with a bag on their head!

Margalot Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 I thought we may have had Jahmene from the X factor, seeing as he is from Swindon, but I expect Keith had been booked early as he's at the panto for the second year running! Robbie Williams turned on Oxford Street. Doesn't Nicholas Cage live in Glastonbury now? He's been rumoured to switch on local lights all the time! he is cool though!!! One of my weirder celeb crushes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Nothing weird about a crush on Nicholas Cage, I loved him in the National Treasure films and so did my ED who was only about 16 at the time. We rarely get anyone famous, especially over recent years because we had a few injuries when we had a boy band about 10 years ago, i can't even remember who they were but it caused a lot of controversy.

chickencam Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Just had a look at my local towns, and it seems that there is a chap called Santa Claus switching on the lights in most places, he is going to be busy The Fabulous Baker Brothers Tom and Henry are doing Cirencester's lights though.

Honestly,I live in celeb ville - you would have thought they could come up with someone a bit more exciting! In 2 days at work this week I have already served/seen Liam Gallagher, Angie Best, Phillip Schofield & Gerry Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
