Ikea. £25 for the tree, and you get a £20 Ikea voucher to use in January/February, so effectively £5 for the tree.

Where are you based Pondy?

The car park of the Navy Club on Canonmills sells trees. That's where we get ours. Dece quality but double the price of an Ikea one.

I guess there's value in knowing you wont bump into Acey types in the Ikea car park tho Quite Good

There's a place on Mayfield Road that sells them. Sound It has a massive Santa outside on the street so you can't miss it.

Advent is this Sunday, so it's showing just the right amount of extra Christmas cheer.

It's up, but not decorated. It was either that or leave it outside, which I wasn't too keen on.

Shitwine Folks.

In Portobello, so Straiton is a bit of a trek but I do like the price. Canonmills sounds do-able; is 50 quid the going rate?
Mayfield Road might be an option, especially if I rope my mate in who surely will be needing one too. Friday afternoon pre-drinking outing for a tree should keep the burds happy and allow longer Dean drinking time. Monty Oh You

Got a real tree that lives in a big pot in the garden 51 weeks a year. It gets to share the comfort of inside for it's Christmas holiday.

It's getting a bit big now - but it's got a wee pal that'll take over the looking-nice duties soon.


And mince pies are rank. Sound

Indeed. In fact, I'm surprised that statement didn't receive one of your gleefully dished neggies.

I've decided to break rank and if any cunt suggests non-traditional dishes for Xmas they're getting a red one!
