I saw these today on-line.bobo the clown wrote:Stockton-On-Tees in the lead in this years "fck me, what do you call that ?" Civic Tree competition ;
Personally I think the Stockton one still leads.
In Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire

In Clacton, locals revolted at seeing this and it was replaced with a proper one

Any other contenders ??

Re: The Christmas thread
Really ? That's "OK" ??
Looks like an oversized 'Vesuvius' firework from a Standard Fireworks variety box ... & they were always shite.
Then again, in Stockton ... I suppose ...

Re: The Christmas thread
Indeed! I don't think it looks too bad when lit up if it was just a decoration, but as the actual tree, how did that happen?!

Knock a general knowlege quiz up on Word or something and print a few sheets off, either individual or team. Mixed teams of kids and grown up usually work out okay.
