Even the finest trees cost up to 50p to plant. They can take around 5-7 years to become fully grown. The mark up for a seven foot tree depending on tree type should not be more than £40. Next time go on line and get one sent to you in the post in a great big parcel. It also saves you the hassle of carrying it home. No, I’m afraid You got ripped off Sir.

We should therefore be cautious in believing anything put out from now on by the Labour party. For example, they are already presenting an inaccurate picture of how much there has been a decrease in knife crime. All economic news is presented from the point of view that Gordon is our Saviour, Gordon leads the world, when it is his profligacy that has to a large part caused our troubles. The picture of Gordon saving the world is a fallacy and wishful thinking on his part. He definitely did say "We saved the world."

Brown definitely said "WE SAVED THE WORLD..." and then the whole house erupted. He probably meant to say "We saved the banks" but he didn't and the laughter was justified because it just confirmed his God complex. You can't blame David Cameron for that. Gordon definitely made the error and has to carry the can for such a Freudian slip, but taking responsibility isn't exactly his forte, is it? Lea that isn’t what happened.

And of course Cameron had to put in his two pence. Ever considered that maybe Brown paused in order to wait for the noise to die down so he could finish speaking? As usual, both the media and the Tories have blown it out of proportion.

Ros - I agree. The government encourages dependancy on banks who steal money from the poor and are then given public money from taxes. Angela – many thanks for the links.

An enterprising tree surgeon is renting out live Christmas trees that he grows, for £25 a time. You have it for the whole Christmas period, then he comes round, collects it, and carries on growing each tree until next year, when you can once more do the same thing, until the tree grows too big , but he grows others then.
