Real Xmas Tree or artificial ? you tight fucking old gits if it was up to me I'll have a bit of stick from the garden with one light on top but always get out voted and end up with big real one. making a mess in the corner. Hopefully I can go to the 12th before getting it this year the 11th is my recorded.

"*puts on best Smashie and Nicey voice for some virtual signalling* Some local councils will pick it up to be recycled for a small donation to a charity, Mike."

"Side of Ham 11:41 Wed Nov 29 I thought any local zoo/safari park would take used Xmas trees, but the owner has to take it there - they won't come and collect it."

"Texas Iron 10:49 Tue Nov 28 ""Why follow a German tradition…???"" I wished everyone did follow the german tradition and put it up on the 24th December. IT'S FUCKING NOVEMBER!"

Invested in a good quality plastic one about a decade ago in order to miss out on sifting through with the heathens annually. Generally they end up stinking and drying out and then you have to get rid of the fucker as the local refuse is getting more and more of an awkward cսnt seeing what neighbours have to go through (remains outside uncollected for about a month). Pre Christmas is all what is bad about a capitalist country‚Ķ.but Christmas itself is great.

Is it snowing in Thundersley yet ?

Plastic with loads of baubles and lights. I like to see real ones...at other peoples houses or establishments :-)

We've used the same artificial tree for more than 20 years. It is quality plastic (if there is such a thing) but its long life has saved at least 23 trees from being chopped and counting...

Always a real tree Wouldn’t even bother putting an artificial version up

"Artificial - just like the festival it is supposed to represent. Oh, and fossil fuel powered lighting, too. Lots."

None… Why follow a German tradition…???

You would have thought they'd come up with a hybrid by now?
