The tree in question is at Tyldesley being only 4ft tall

Why do you smell a rat Lectriclegs ?
Cant remember where abouts in the Wigan area the said tree was, it wasnt a tree just put up for the festivities, it had been planted about a year ago & was decorated for Christmas. The locals interviewed on the show said they thought the council was being miserly...even had a councillor putting her pennyworth in....no rats to be seen or smelt !

Helen of Troy.........Course you did.

I smell a rat.

Lectriclegs, I didnt hear the story about the Christmas Tree on Radio Norfolk, it was aired on the BBC, Jeremy Vine lunchtime programme.

Have lost touch with old school mates who may have changed email addresses. Pat Berry Australia and Harry Barrow. if anyone knows of the changes I would appreciate it if they would let me know.
