It’s gone a bit more high tech since then.

I agree, @liampie. ????

Many years ago, I attended the Nottingham Christmas lights being turned on but only due to work. I was right up with all the celebs and Carl Froch. ???? Something that wasn't known at this time was that the lights during a reversal wouldn't switch on. There was an issue with the Council House in Market square. This is why, I think it was Trent FM/Capital's Joe and Twiggy who were delaying the actual live turning on.
