Thats some expensive tree, eh? :O
firstly, that newsreader is either very dopey or very patronising
but the tree looks nice but to say it has £11 milllion worth of gems on it, it doesn't look that much different to any other
look good, but not worth the money
They did it to show off and get in the guiness world record bookQuote:

That being said, they've done it simply for advertising. It will be on news channels all over the world and even by you posting this thread; they've achieved their goal :P
Most of the decorations on the tree look like ones you can get in a pack of 12 for about £7 :ss
Christmas is not what it is anymore.
11 million. Thats crazy. It doesnt even look any different to any other xmas tree,
i agree that its just a marketing stunt & you can't really see the gems that well & yep i did what they wanted me to do by showing it off :PQuote:

Some are silly expensive, I was in a garden centre the other day and there was a 6ft prelit artificial tree which cost £600... I walked into Asda the next day and there was a 6ft prelit artificial tree for £30... and it didn't look much different at all.
Too commercialised these days. I suppose money makes the world tick over though.Quote:

For us though, there's only myself, parents and close family and friends who will see it - so what's the point in spending loads on it? :P I'd much rather spend money on other decorations tbh, we have a cute little moving Santa and a load of Disney-Christmas merchandise which really makes the room look cheerful! :)Quote:

Maybe they should consider donating it to the British Government to help pay off some national debt...Quote:

looks nice, however it looks like any other tree in my opinion xD
Take it you've seen an 11 million tree before then :PQuote:
