Townsfolk left deeply unsatisfied by Bury St Edmunds' 'twig' of a Christmas tree

Rich 11

Why can't our beautiful town have a Trafalgar Square type tree.

Two reasons.

1) You don't know how to use a question mark.

2) The Trafalgar tree is an annual gift from Norway to all* the people of the UK, sent as a thank you for coming to their defence in 1940 and for supporting their resistance movement all the way through to the end of the war (which of course turned out exceedingly well for all of us, especially given Telemark). The tree the Norwegians will send us this year will be the 72nd one, and that's a damn fine tradition we can all be proud of and grateful for.

*Though I'm guessing we can agree on excluding Tommy Robinson and other pieces of neo-Nazi shit.
