the borough of poole has instead of a real christmas tree this year has bought a fake christmas tree ...
BBC News - Council axes real Christmas tree
they spend £4000 every year on a real one .. so this year they've bought a fake one costing £14,000 and they say it will save them money as they'll be able to use it again. Thing is though .. due to the high winds, rain, possibly snow, sun (well you never know) by the time 4 years have come around wont they be needing another .. as the tree will have faded, been bashed by the high winds and rain and snow etc and the sun .... so they'd have to buy a new one anyway
By the way what if accrington's council decided to get a fake tree like that ... or would you prefer a live one ..
I know fake ones are handy to have in the house .. ive got one myself .. but a town having a fake one .. dont seem right to me ..
