LED street lights

edited February 2011 in Chit chat
anyone else seen these?

they have started putting them up in york.

much brighter

might as well not even turn the bedroom light off now.

either gonna buy some blackout blinds (which i hate) or smash the ****er.

its a white light, so not soft like orange.

the gf is complaining about driving down the road, as they are blinding her.

    We've just had some flyers through about them replacing all the lamps in southampton with them.... Is it just the 'lamp' part they replace or the whole thing?

    Hope its just the lamps, our lamp posts round here are late 19th century ( original gas ones converted over the years ) Would hate to see them go - they got real character.... gawn that sounds sooo geeky...

    they have done the whole thing here. might be different with nicer lamp poles though.

    but once you get the LED set up you will lose all character cos they look awful.

    we never got any flyers, they just sneaked em in, i can see loads of people complaining.

    a quick google search had people in LA complaining, but give it time and you will see this country going nuts.

    oh and how come i have a pay freeze, have to cover 3 jobs cos people have left and they can't hire new staff in the NHS. but the council can afford now street lamps.

    wtf.

    ...I've only just realised that the last 2 jobs I left, they replaced me with a member of staff who happened to be female, but only employed them for 0.5 of a full time position.. Maybe they were trying to tell me something.. :-o

    maybe if you had flirted more and shown a bit of leg they'd have kept you on. ;)

    Haha, well they were both offices full of women so maybe they employed me as eye candy, that would explain how they put up for my lack of productivity.. :-P

    I'd actually like a few streetlights round where I live now, back home they pissed me off a treat though, living in a terrace with street lights ain't much fun at all. My best pal had one right outside his window, that would've drove me mad, and I would've went outside and shot a hole in it or bricked it or something.

    He used to live right across the street from me, and it used to piss me off.

    One outside another pal of mines house fell down in about 2000, I guess after years of dogs pissing up it it'd rusted so badly that one night when it was windy boom it fell over. took them weeks to replace it. My mate was like "I'd have been happy if they just hadn't bothered". His bedroom was out the back of the house but he had one out there as well....poor sod :lol:

    For some reason I've got a vision of your workplace as a rougher version of "Take me out"

    We really need 'em down our street cuz the lights are so dim you just cant see which bit of shite you're treading in. Bet we don't get 'em down here though. Bloody cheapskate council. :( I want LED streetlamps!

    ha ha, is that the paddy mcguiness show?

    actually the NHS is pretty good.

    you get a mix of really posh people and those who do the lower jobs like me.

    we have a call centre on another floor of the building and they are proper rough people. i see them when im out smoking, talking about deals and fighting.

    we get a lot of GP's through here too, and honestly they are always the nicest bunch of people you will ever meet.

    what does make me laugh thought about working there though is that im a first aider. by law we have to have so many, but if there was a proper emergency, you'd just grab a doctor or a nurse.

    the only reason they aren;t a first aider, is because by law they;d have to go on a 1 day course, regardless of 5 years of training.

    anyway, this is about street lamps.

    who are you with the posh words.

    best guy i ever worked with was a geordie in a post room. all we used to do was rate the women.

    of course on work nights out, i spent all my time stopping him glassing people.

    good times. :-P
