The Christmas tree was removed, 'In case anyone injured themselves' during aid 'mdemomstrations' tomorrow as you realise.If the participant's best efforts are to demonstrate stupidity, then let them get injured, sue 'em for criminal damage and then buy a new tree.Sad though isn't it, the Black Prince has sat there all this time and survived goodness knows what - then the biggest threat to his well-being that comes along - is people. Shame those involved in the events can't stretch thier passions to demonstrate a wider caring for simple society values.

Indeed,and most of them,these supposed Englishmen,wouldnt know who he was and probably think that Crecy was a badly ironed shirt and Poitiers was something to do with a fictional magical character that went to Hogwarts.Ive been called narrowminded by some,but at least im not a bigot like this lot.
