    I have heard it's still common in Switzerland to have real candles with live flames as Christmas three decorations. Is thsi true and are there other places where this is done?

    Many germans still insist on real candles and growing up with them, it's still in my mind that they are "the only real deal".

    However I realize that this can be really dangerous and I don't like the smoke in the room when 25 real candles are lit off - in my home only LEDs.
    But I keep on telling my 78 yo parents every year to stay off from the candles.

    Back when they had real candles on the tree here they were very careful. A bucket of water stood next to it and you put out the candles if you were the last person to leave the room. I quess it ads to the atmosphere if you use real candles, though.

    I don't know if they're banned in the uk but it's all
    Electric lighting. As you are advised not to use
    Real candles. Due to the fire hazard. There was a rise in
    House fires due to all the tv home design shows having
    Candles in fire places along windows etc.

    It was funny today, I was watching a bit of " On the Busses "
    ( old comedy show from the 60s/ early 70s )
    With prices in Pounds, shillings and pence ! Then explaining
    To my daughters what " Proper" money used to be. :))

    I also updated the firmware on my Nikon D750, from
    1.00 to 1.01 !
    and you think Bond leads an exciting life. :))

    I'm loving it,( same autofocus, metering and CPU) as the D4s -{
    In fact I got rid of my D800 ( as I don't need 36mp) my D610 is now
    Just a back up camera.
    Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. -{

    The Nikon D610, is a brilliant camera too ( fixing the shutter faults of the d600 ).
    The D750, is basically a D4s in a D610 body. :D they claim almost 1300 shots
    From a battery but from my use, I think a full charge will do many more than that.
    So no need to add a battery grip. :D

    I replied," I wasn't thinking of spending that much " :))

    Anyone else read the report in a survey on women's taste in
    Men's aftershave. That " Old Spice" regularly comes top in
    Women's choices. :))

    It also backs up the other survey that found out that men
    Who help round the house etc. Get less sex than those
    Who do very little. :D

    Maybe 'Old Spice' sponsored the survey: "What's your favourite scent on a man: duck fat, stale sweat or Old Spice?"

    Am I the only one to do this ......
    From watching Bond over the years, when staying at a Hotel. I do check behind
    Mirrors, or see if they appear " two way" etc, as I don't want to end up as a video
    On some specialist web site ! :))
