Thinking about Christmas, I've just remembered the time my brother got his first bachelor pad ( a one bedroomed flat) and decided to go hunter gatherer to get his tree. He found one in a wood somewhere, hacked it down and installed it in his living room. He didn't realise until that point that the farmer who owned the land had sprayed his trees with manure to stop people nicking his trees. It stank his house out , was hastily removed and taught him to buy one in future! (He was only young at the time!)
