Where is the Christmas tree in Dulwich ?

[tallulah71]

Don't worry about unlurked - he or she doesn't agree with a co-operative of 'bakers' making cakes for deprived children either - why? because it adds to growing problems of obesity in children. Course it does.

Take one large pineapple (growing in centre of roundabout)wrap it in fairy lights, tinsel & baubles. Stick a star on top. Voila! :O)

Nice 'Unlurked', real niiiice

There's a lot more pressing issues to 'how the council' spend our money - take it up on another thread.

I think it would be lovely to have an xmas tree in Dulwich

[unlurked]

Why not donate the pointless cost of the pointless tree to the Phillipines appeal. Surely that will make all the hoardes that must have tax payer funded Xmas trees every 5 yards in ED to feel good, feel good instead?

Think many of us may have done this already ...

Slightly tangential, but where is a good place to buy trees, and that is trading early?

Need one up for this weekend due to relatives (kids) visiting.

I also need one before the weekend due to a guest arriving. I called a few places but haven't had any luck finding anyone with them before this Friday, so I'm also interested if anyone knows of any local x-mas trees available now.

Sainsbos have ones in pots on sale. Small ?10, Large ?25.
