As we are now well in to the festive period, here`s an absolute bargain from the Forestry Commission. Get yourselves along to any FC forest visitor centre and choose your very own spruce, pine or fir tree. Don`t worry about paying because you`ve already paid for the 7 years skilled tending by professional forestry staff through your taxes. Simply select your tree which will have been pre-cut and walk off back to your car in the car park which you won`t have paid for either because you`ve already paid something like 20% tax.
If you`re worried about the provenance of your tree then don`t be. The Forestry Commission were certified to Foresty Stewardship Council (FSC) standards years ago using public funds before anyone noticed (It`s only recently they`ve started to force the rest of us to pay the private sector for our certification)
And you might want to ask to see their plant health passport before you leave.
In fact, we`d recommend you help yourself to any Forestry Commission Estate Christmas trees so long as it`s only one for personal use.
And you don`t try selling a Transit Pick-up load off Malton market last Saturday.
That would be a bit dodgy.
