Big pud..

Post by Gob »

With such a festive-sounding surname, Roger and Valerie Holley might have felt obliged to bring some Christmas cheer to their quiet residential street.

So the couple decided to clip their 20ft conifer tree into the shape of a Christmas pudding - then completed it with lashings of cream, huge holly leaves and big red berries.

The front garden hedge also has a giant robin perching on top and has become a popular landmark in Yeovil, Somerset, over the past five years at Christmas time.

I'm surprised that no one has asked them to take it down in case it offends Muslims.

I suppose it doesn’t bob bob bob along then.

Wait until the local jobsworths hear of it. ;)

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
