Plenty of **** :thumbup:

That is £10k a year from our council tax for the next three years at least. Shipped in from China especially!

Of course it is, you don't really think they'd put something that ridiculous outside the castle and call it a Christmas tree do you?

Two questions.

1. How much did that shit cost?
2. When is the moron who ordered it being fired?

Wales has the most castles per head in the world.

Yet I've never actually been in cardiffs one. Unappreciated.

It is being used as a hospitality village for all the rich un's next year the CL final:

Ooooh! it looks lush like ...

Dozens of people sleeping on the streets every night and the council wastes our money on this crap.
Shame!

Random Council Employees should be summarily sacked.
And their children sent to the Workhouse. They will be glad to be rid of their hovels.

Vile incompetent commoners. Lefties.

:hehe: It does look a tad out of place, a traditional one would have looked much better and probably would have been cheaper.

1. £30k apparently

2. The moron was probably elected rather than employed.

Well the moron should be unelected and £30k when essential council services are being cut is a disgrace. Last time I checked, trees are not something that is in short supply in Wales.

Seriously? :yikes:

It looks like a pile of Ferrero rochet. Even yesterday the council claimed it was going to be 40 metres high - turns out to be 40 feet high!

Yeah but lets wait and see what it looks like in the dark. I mean is there a 40W or 60W bulb inside? :-)

:facepalm:

It's all about the base...

I hadn't commented on this before as I genuinely believed it was a Photoshop as was mentioned, well quipped.

Not only a waste of our hard earned cash buy it looks absolutely dreadful... like something knocked up in a playgroup!

Also, how the hell can anyone get 40 feet and 40 metres mixed up ffs? You wouldn't see the effin top!

I despair :angry:

They're laughing it off, when they're spending public money.

"A council spokeswoman confirmed the tree was 40ft not the 40m that had been advertised.
"The person who told us the tree was 40m high has since revealed he believes he is 18ft tall," she said.
"We apologise to everyone who was expecting a bigger tree and are cutting the person responsible down to size."

How does that 18ft thing work? :hehe:

It's the same person who did the Stonehenge stage decoration in Spinal Tap.

18ft = 6 yards;
so a six-foot bloke thinks he's six yards tall.


Poor joke nearly works, but the story gives the tree height in metres. Fecking EU.

1.8 metres would make him about 5.9

There have been no posts on this board for over an hour. Croesy is going to lose his shit.

He is 6 ft but thinks he's 18ft i.e. 3 times as tall
Tree is 40 ft but he thinks it's 40 metres high i.e. 3 times as high (approx.)

Shirley the ratio correct even if the quip isn't? :shrug:
