“A family have broken the world record for the number of Christmas lights put up on a home – for the second time.
The Richards family, of Canberra, Australia, have installed 502,165 lights around their house and garden.
David Richards, a barrister, started work on stringing the 48km of wires around his property in early October.
He had previously held the world record with 330,000 lights in 2011, but lost it last year to a family in New York.
The mammoth display, which is expected to be seen by tens of thousands of visitors, has been erected to raise money for a children’s charity.”
It would probably be illegal here!!:D Definitely a seasonal story for Linc!”!;)

WHY, when you take them down, they are all working, but there are at least one or two that don’t, when you put them up the next year?.

Seems like I missed my calling, I should have been a Barrister in Aus. We have two or three “Strings” of lights on our,,,,CHRISTMAS….Tree. Have you noticed how they change the bulb fitments each year?, so if you want a spare replacement bulb,they don’t make them for your set anymore?.
