The "bad" Christmas decorations that we love.

Eddie Mair | 07:41 UK time, Monday, 8 December 2008

Thank you for the response to our plea for photos of bad Christmas trees and decorations. If you want to know where it all began, there are details here.

We still want more though! Send them please to iPM@bbc.co.uk.

"A photo of Father Christmas. He's in a sleigh with no reindeer, and he was even blowing up his own balloons! They were selling meat at half price in Sainsbury's though.... A sign that the Credit Crunch has even affected Santa? AllotmentJo"

    Nice photo Jo -

    It didn't look that bad though?

    I was still hoping to see David's?

    As he was even mentioned on iPM! - hey ho!

    Is it me or am I losing track of how the iPM blog works?

    There was a weekly running order at one time - then it disappeared. -

    then the photo's got emailed through to ipm - for Flickr

    then that changed - and you have to be a Flickr member (fine for me) and then that got taken over by some plonker who uploaded his family album

    so now we email - and only the odd ones - albeit a very nice one from allotmentjo - get posted?

    I have a suggestion?

    How about creating a set of photo's for ipm on the PM Flickr account - the pro account used for PM?

    Then it's a doddle to upload the emailed photo's - especially with the Flickr uploading tool.

    I just found it irritating listening to you all discussing at the end of the podcast about David's photo - and now we can't see the ruddy thing!

    Never let technology stand in the way, my old boss at LBC instilled that in me - and it's still very true.

    Oh forgotto add my 'download' comments as to the 'My News' theme.

    It was nice to hear the old generic news jingle - but would prefer something more funky.

    perhaps on the lines of this? http://tinyurl.com/67xjmy

    well it got me into the news in the London area all those years ago ;-)
