Cardiff Christmas Tree

There was a massive furor - rightly so - over Cardiff Council paying £30,000 to rent a Christmas tree from China for a few years, beginning this Christmas.

 

The price was inconsequential in my opinion, but the fact that it was from China was inexcusable - I mean, could we not have bought it from the UK at least?

 

But to add insult to all of this, it wasn't even a tree. It was a tree shaped mesh covered in lights and baubles.

 

It looks atrocious in the light of day. Absolutely appalling. I honestly think that a local high school could have done a better job.

 

At night, at least, it isn't as bad.
