I'm in a safe spot but this would generally not be recommended in London, even an empty box is likely to get pinched.

I have raised my game and bought some tinkling lights for my living room bay window, visible from ther street. My neighbour's home is configured differently, they will have to do the same to their kitchen downstairs cloakroom to compete with me .

Bring it on!

Years ago our next door neighbours loved Christmas and used to put a few lights up outside so as a joke we waited for them to go out and then fully decorated the outside of ours, snow scene the lot, they loved it though and were straight down B&Q the next day, other neighbours joined in so we ended up having to do it every year, all night it would be cars driving up and down slowly and I would get asked in the street what time do you switch on We moved house and new neighbours quickly asked did you bring your lights, think we were all thankful the answer was No!
