A whoopsie.

The green string failed on one of my sets of lights on our tree and what I thought would be a simple repair is actually a toss in the spare parts box job, the difficulty being tracing the fault and then refitting insulation, at their price it's too hard to bother.
Anyway I grabbed a set of lights from Coles today and paid the price of not being vigilant enough, they were on the shelf below the white ones and a cursory glance didn't pick up the white on the label but sure enough they were white rather than the multicoloured I wanted. Of course silly Jimmy have fitted half of them before noticing, but at the end of the day it actually looks OK so I'll just leave it now till next xmas.
