Lights...

X Factor 'star' Rhydian turned on the Christmas lights in Hull tonight. As far as I'm aware he replaced soul singer Beverley Knight, who was lined up for switch-throwing duties. Although, given recent events in the Midlands, it's probably better to give the job to someone who won't attract a massive audience. As I walked through the growing crowds early this evening I noticed, yet again, that the German Market was being mostly ignored. I'm sure it picked up when Rhydian took the mic and people decided to seek out something a little bit more appealing. Bah, humbug!
