I was reading online of the vandalism by young kids of the Christmas decorations belonging to the couple in Peacehaven.

Here, everyone decorates their houses and gardens for Christmas with as many lights as possible.

Santas and reindeer stroll across front lawns and rooftops but one never hears of vandalism. What is wrong with the English mentality that so many things are destroyed by these yobs?

I thank my lucky stars I don't have to live with that any more. It's very sad.
