I dunno it's easy to overlook the importance of good comfortable underwear.
Besides that stoopid kid who asked for an Android Pad, I bet he got a Samsung Pad2 running icecream sandwich.

I'd expect the one out of Trafalgar Square for that not the 6' bastard in our lounge !
You've beaten us by £3. We must be mad.
We don't get real ones anymore, but just found a village farm shop selling big ones for about £20. 
Pretty much a third of the price of anywhere else.
I believe false trees are an abomination, the work of Satan.
Time was you could go up Dudley market on Christmas Eve and make them an offer about 6pm !
Usually about 50p for a six footer if you held your nerve !

Lol. I think killing innocent trees every year is the abomination... 
That's worth a thought but maybe culling trees leads to planting of more.
Maybe!
I am fine with everyone else having real trees. They look amazing and smell yummy.
I just started feeling guilty about my tree each year. It's so depressing when you take the decorations off after Christmas and the tree looks all naked and sad and has to be thrown away. 
I just can't take it!
I do remember younger son crying his eyes out years ago when we were denuding the tree.
Aww. It is very melancholy. I put it off as long as possible.
I think that's why they invented that rule that it's bad luck to take them down after the 12th(?) of Jan. To force us into it.
Christmas trees are a production line.
About three miles from me are fields where they are grown in serried ranks.
Next years are already on the way.
If you decide to start running a Christmas tree farm, you'd have to start growing them at least 5 years before you can ever sell one, I'd have thought.

'Oh, arr, Miss zooo.
Get the saplings in before Michaelmas Tuesday if 'ee wants a good crop.'
