Some daft paper-pusher in Poole Borough Council decided that the erection of a Christmas tree in the town centre would be dangerous to the public if it toppled over in the wind.
So, instead of coming up with ways of making sure it didn’t topple, he or she came up with the idea of commissioning a 33-foot tall, green ‘traffic cone’ weighed down by two tons of ballast. At a cost of £14,000 instead of £500 for a fir tree.
We probably have idiots like this in our own local council. But, remember, it is we who voted them in.
So, for the people of Poole, it’s your fault!
[The fake tree was subsequently vandalised and replaced by a real one!]
