  • Would be interesting getting a timeline

    of which Xmas lights Toploader have switched on over the years.

    They were probably doing Buckingham Palace in 2001, then John Lewis in 2002, then a Zone 3 tube station in 2003 until they were eventually switching them on in a crack den cobbled together out of corrugated iron last year.

    This year, Ely.

  • I went to the Paisley lights switch on 2 saturdays ago

    It was The View who were headlingin. My mate manages them and was in town for it, so I went along mainly just to catch up with my pals. It was raining so hard and i got wet. We had drinks in the trailer afterwards (TV's trailer was three times the size of tinchy stryder's, who had been supporting, and I stole the cheeseboard, some oilves, a can of irn bru and their chocolate biscuts. ROCK N ROLL.
