Story from Jam Press (Christmas Pants Lights) Pictured: The lights on Fleet High Street. Pant-a Claus! Town?s Christmas lights mocked for looking like knickers on washing line A town?s Christmas lights have been mocked for looking like knickers. The festive illuminations run across the High Street. But locals have poked fun at them saying they look like sparkly pants hung up on a washing line. Stephen Kellett said: "If they're not meant to look like underpants what were they intending them to look like? "I really can't see anything other than underpants." Matt added: "It?s like a magic eye, once you see it." Michele Anne Chambers said: "I mean yes they do look like underwear. "I'm not bothered about it though." They were spotted in Fleet, Hampshire. Darren Wilson joked: "All we are saying is give Fleet some pants." Town pen pushers saw the funny side of it, as reported by?What's The Jam. A Fleet Town Council spokesperson said: "This wasn?t quite what we had in mind. ?But whether you see them as pants, lanterns or simply modern lighting we?re delighted to hear our streetlights are sparking joy, conversation and unexpected humour in the community. "Our goal has always been to brighten Fleet High Street and create a welcoming environment. "It?s wonderful to know they?re bringing a smile to your night and day. "Thank you for sharing your thoughts and observations. We value your feedback and the light-hearted moments it brings to our neighbourhood." ENDS
