They just mentioned it on the news, will they show it on the telly when all the lights do out/dim in the cities?

Is it just the lights out, or everything, I wouldn't mind seeing it on telly?
I guess they'll show it again tomorrow so I can watch it then?

I think they may show it on TV as this is the biggest one of its kind so far!

It is just the lights you need to swith off...

Thanks MARTINSDOLL - I think I'll nip outside to the street about 9 o'clock, see how many on our road have switched off too :cool:

and if you're lucky enough to have no clouds in your area tonite don't forget to look up at the stars, they are saying this will be one of the best nights for seeing the stars with very little light pollution:j

We signed up for this 2 weeks ago and my 3 girls are so excited. They feel like they are really helping as individuals. Middle daughter who is 11 printed loads of flyers and posters out from the WWF Site and took them to school last week and it was mentioned in assembly and she was allowed to put the flyers out and the posters on corridors which was nice considering they are junior children and will be taking part. Dad wasnt very impressed about turning everything off but she explained it was very important to HER future and he agreed. We bought candles and will be playing board games. But first we want to watch from windows and see whether a lot of people will take part. I think it's a fantastic idea and I think children are a fine example to us and after all it is their future.


Lights off .....8.30 - 9.30

i hear about this on another forum this morning, so i have signed up, and will be switching the light off at 8.30pm maybe they want everyone to do it at the same time for the impact etc..

i must admit i quite like watch tv with the lights out..

do you know if any of the councils plan on switching lights off for an hour too?
