Ask for a discount on Christmas tree prices. The guys who sell Christmas trees on my forecourt at the old William Angel Gallery have made a point of offering a discount to anyone who goes down and mentions the East Dulwich Forum. I always get a tree from the guys, (this is their fourth year selling there), and the trees are very good quality.

Hi Sean - thanks for your reply and your PM.


Understand these things are a bit random and its probably just bad luck. I would happily take you up on your kind offer... if I hadn't just broken my foot and was housebound for the rest of the year! But I appreciate you getting in touch.

Sorry about your foot.


You could spray the bare branches gold or silver?

Every year people set up in pub car parks etc selling trees. I suspect they don't need to work the rest of the year because they make a killing. Every year they say what a bad year it has been (early frost, late frost, too wet, too dry...) for the trees.


Where is the competitive pressure from us as consumers and other suppliers?


Great to know. I did buy from a couple of places but every year they hiked their prices up.

    • is anyone getting rid of one or something similar?   thanks 
    • ?????? I have read through this thread and I am totally bemused. It had previously seemed to be a helpful thread, and I  don't want to send it any more off topic by responding to the last two posts by other forum members. Could someone (or admin) please PM me if they think I have stepped out of line and explain why, as recent comments seem to be directed at me and have nothing to do with the subject of the thread. This is a forum, and as in real life people are all  different, with different personalities and sensitivities, and react in different ways,  but the direction this thread has taken is very disappointing. ETA: If the two previous posters want to discuss the points they have made which aren't relevant to the subject of this thread, perhaps one or both of them could start a new thread or threads in the lounge?
    • Please lmk if you have one for sale. Thanks 
    • I totally agree with jazzer having been “jumped on” by various members.. I try and help as that is the sort of person I am, but now will try hard  to just read and not reply.. was down right hurtful to have a comment made along the lines that as I was no longer as person supposed, in ED and moved somewhere else should just leave group. No longer sure what sort of people are on this group - certainly not as pleasant as it was 15 years  ago when people were pleasant, helpful and some things were a joke and much more  light hearted. Everyone has a right to their own opinion as it is a public forum- meaning anyone can join from where-ever but c maybe I have got that wrong as well / doesn’t matter as I will probably leave…
