How much for a real Christmas Tree?
Discussion
I feel raped............
I went to the same place I've been to for the last 3 years and got a 10' (ish) spruce that's been sprayed with some anti drop type stuff and will be good in to the new year (last years hardly dropped a needle) however last year I left it a bit later and paid £25 this year it was flucking flifty flucking notes
yes it was one of the biggest ones there and yes it is nice but have they had my pants down ? I certainly feel a bit had over and am cursing myself for not creating at the time but it was my own fault for not asking about prices and just going "yes thats about right I'll have it"
I still think its tastefull to have a real tree though and its pretty much all we do have up in the house and its a bit of a focal point, maybe for the next 10 years or so I ought to forego the tree and buy fifty quids worth of blinky lights and blow up festive dolls that way I'll be able to keep up every other twat on a council estate near you.

Blimey, glad I don't live darn sarf.......
Place where we go you go out into the "forest" pick your tree and put an identity tag on it.
On the day you go back to pick up the tree they take you out again, dig up your tree, prepare it how you want, in our case potted, and wrap it up in that netting stuff.
£2.25/ft Can't get fresher than that.

We live in Sussex, and we know a place that you can do that with as well, and I think the price is about the same. Very nice trees they are as well.
) I suppose its pretty expensive, but if it was a big mature plant in the gardening centre it'd be a hell of a lot more.

Or leave it in the ground and enjoy it growing to maturity. Each Christmas decorate it in celebration it is there. "I do not think that I shall see a poem as lovely as a ..."
I do not think that I shall see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Indeed, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.
