World's worst Christmas tree found in County Durham: picture special

Tight cnuts, spend sum money on a decent tree


It may look like a Christmas tree at the end of the festive season but this sad offering has only just gone up.
The £200 centrepiece of a town’s £6,000 decorations was unveiled by former Atomic Kitten star Natasha Hamilton.
But it has been fenced off with a “Caution Under Repair” sign after locals, complained about the state of it. Councillor Joan Maslin said: “It really is pathetic, a disgrace. I would describe it as looking like an overgrown twig.


“That’s how it should look after Christmas when you throw it in a skip, not before.
“In the current financial climate people need cheering up and this is the last thing we need. It’s an insult.”
A hundred businesses in Peterlee, Co Durham, forked out £3,000 for the switch on with shopping centre owners Kenmore Capital Glenrothes paying the rest. Centre manager Mike Weston said: “I am disappointed with the tree. We got it delivered early this year and it is not up to standard.
“But the local councillor has a cheek to complain. The council has not contributed a penny towards the Christmas decorations.” He wants Easington district council to pay half to replace it. It is investigating.

Looks like the chavs raped its boobles a little early this year so they can have their window trees at home looking like one in Trafalgar square.

It's a disgrace.

So what's the “Caution Under Repair” sign for? Are they going to get the Blue Peter team in to stick more branches and decorate it?

They should have expected 200 shit christmas trees in that case, not just 1 big one.
