Just been to the Stannards? big garden centre on the A205 past Forest Hill. They are full of trees but empty of people who prefer the Homebase/B&Q chains. Such a shame, lovely shop. Not that we have christmas trees - I was there to buy regular planting stuff! But the place was empty. Just so's you know.

Is that not Shannons or is this another one on the A205?

Hi Ratty,

sorry that I missed your post this morning cos I was at the stall.

Have you got your tree yet? I wont be getting the potted tree just yet cos they get better closer to Xmas.

I.m very fussy when it comes to buying for my customers,it has to be quality at reasonable price.

I'll put up a notice when they are available.

Alternatively, let me know what size tree you're after and let me do the rest

I bought one this morning from "The Christmas Forest", which is in the car park on the a205 opposite the Harvester. They have a large selection and friendly staff. Most trees are grown in the UK.


?39 for a 6ft one - a norwegian spruce - quite expensive but a really good looking tree - but the smaller ones are much cheaper and they have both cheaper and more expensive varieties and potted ones too.


Sorry Cam, just went with my wife's recommendation in the end.


Good luck.

I am kind of conflicted about a tree this year.


My wife comes back into the UK from Canada on the 18th, but her daughter is going to her father's Lake Tahoe home for Xmas.


My girls are 16 and 19, so I expect fairly fleeting visits this year.


I think it might be time for a Spanish trip from Boxing Day, maybe see the New Year arrive in Madrid or Barcelona.


Ok I am now unconflicted, cheers!

Apart from Christmas tree I also stock a large selections of interesting flower and plants. The Forest Hill Supermarket open from 7am to 11pm.

Hand made pine wreath(by me)and arrangements will be available from 10th Dec. Any special order please call me

I'm also very good with last min order

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
