Default Do your streetlights switch off at midnight?
Ours do, and it's quite scary

Something to do with the council being tight bastards

Someone will fall over or get mugged and sue, then they will put them back on again...

On the one hand it's good for criminals but on the other hand they have no clue where they're going so it's pointless

Also when the moon's out it provides a nice blueish-light and it's really cool

No it would be pitch black because we are surrounded by fields and woods.

Yes, but then the biggest scandal that has happened around here in the last ten years was when the local tramp nicked the school milk so they aren't that necessary

No....but I wish they did. There is one opposite my bedroom window which blinds me so I have to thick Curtis and keep them shut even when it's roasting so the windows open does bugger all.....

Think I'll write to the council and ask them to switch them off.

I don't know. I will make a conscious effort to stay by my window and watch for them to turn off

I don't have streetlights where I live. Once the sun goes down it's just dark... I like it. And despite being a townie, I've managed not to wander into, or fall over anything. The best thing about having no street lights is that I get an amazing view of the stars.
