ours had for the last few years, because you'd get freaks stealing the empty presents off the tree, or smashing the lights (like they did before :l and now we have no funky lights) but making a tree stable really isn't that hard... just put a box around the ******. not 14k for a new **** one. GAWDDD im all for modernism but thats just minging.Quote:

kthnx.
can't even complain it's labour cause it's conservative.
it's pathetic, if it's been good enough for the last few years, why not this year, unless something chanegd to make the wind on it more? The tree in nottingham is very large and is in an exposed square. All it has is a box around it...
Seems very bizarre.
I think he was being sarcastic dear, it's kinda obvious Christmas Trees bear no relation to religious beliefs or views, nor have any sort of religious symbolism ;) It's so annoying having to write out the meaning behinds jokes :( He was revolving the joke around basic things like Christmas cards turning bland and un-interesting, and other meaningless changes in the way Christmas is perceived (Christmas Cards slowly becoming "Winter Cards", where images are of snow and robins, Santa isn't pictured, nor trees or decorations).Quote:

It wouldn't matter whether it was Labour, Conservatives or the Liberal Democrats - sick of these people interferring in things which have worked fine for the past century or so.Quote:
