00:00Well I started back in 2011 and it started off with 10 lights and it started as a competition
00:06with the neighbours to see how many lights I could get on my house and it sort of little bit got out
00:11of hand and I got obsessed by it and I thought well I'm going to all this trouble so I thought
00:17back in 2017 I'll start raising money for charity so since 2017 I've been raising money for charity
00:22and to date I've raised just under £22,000. My wife used to work there it's the RSPCA Radcliffe
00:29Animal Centre in Nottingham and I have probably 175 individual light setups which will probably give
00:37you 1,500, 1,750 individual bulbs. I was wondering how much it costs in electricity to run it all I
00:46don't know if you have a figure or whether you notice your sort of electricity bill spike up in
00:51December. We're looking at probably between five and six pounds extra per night now bear in mind
00:56run for 40 nights so you're looking at well over 200 pounds extra. How long does it take you to set
01:03them all up? I don't know how much untangling you have to do. 150 to 200 man hours is probably a rough
01:08estimation and yes it is very very time consuming. We switched them on on the 23rd of November I had
01:16over 300 people come. Santa came and turned them on. I think really when you see the children's eyes
01:22light up and they point you see the children dancing to the music so I do like that. How long do you
01:29think you'll keep up the tradition? As long as it long as I can keep climbing up a ladder.
