    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

    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?

    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

    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?
