Lerwick antiques Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Wonder how long it will be before the christmas tree is removed from the market cross. It's now coming to the end of January and it's still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr.Brown Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Does that mean bad luck for all of us as in the old superstition about leaving the Christmas decs up after twelfth night?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerwick antiques Posted January 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Probably a cloud of doom over Commercial street. The great Living Lerwick to blame again I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Be fine to nail the Bill to next week if they knock off a few branches, a lot easier than lacing it to a stone pillar. sludgegulper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) ....and then the Cooncil comes along and destroys the fun, as usual. http://www.shetnews.co.uk/newsbites/15788-christmas-tree-finally-taken-down They surely could have left it for another six days seeing as they'd left it this long ...... Never mind though, I'm sure the Bill painters will find a corner to give it a mention.... 'Dis year, will wir Bill hae onyplace ta be, fur we're been replaced be Livin Lerrik's bloody Christmas tree.....' I'll get me coat.....a poet Im no.

Lerwick antiques Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Funny how the article blames the roads department as Living Lerwick tells us shop keepers that they are in charge of the christmas tree and decorations and we HAVE TO pay for it out of our yearly levy to Living Lerwick. It was also a poor excuse that it couldn't be removed due to gritting roads and icy weather, what is the weather normally like in January? roasting hot sun?

Sukibind Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have to confess that I have not yet put my tree to the dump... or recycling centre as it should now be called. I might do it this weekend.. or not.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
