Good morning Beckworth. Just a reminder that tomorrow evening (or Wednesday if we don’t get replacement light bulbs in time) the actor who played Bungle the bear in 1970s rock band Rainbow will be switching on Beckworth’s Christmas lights. We tested the lights a few nights ago but they all blew hence the postponement of the great switch on… Mr Bungle has said he is happy stay on to meet his fans after the switch-on (he’ll be in the Blind Badger pub) and you can buy autographed photos from him there. The theme of this year’s Christmas display is misshapen vegetables due to the display being sponsored by local misshapen grocer Greg “Masterchef” Wallace. See you tomorrow, or Wednesday, thanking you most warmly. Aashif Ackworth. Mayor
