No Prizes just a bit of fum but how about a little online competition to see which one of us can take the most punters home with Christmas trees

Currently I'm on 2 ( normally about 5 by now) one diddy 3 ft which went in the boot and a 7ft which fortunately the customer brought a big plastic sheet to put down still got a few needles on the floor though

the car with the most by the 24th December wins 2nd place (we all know skippy will do about 80 or 90 and win)

PS admins can you pin this thread till the 24th please

Wouldn't you want to see their faces when they put the 7 foot tree in your boot and you close it and chop the top foot off. #-o :twisted:
