Christmas tree lights get Only Fools and Horses treatment
DEL Boy would no doubt call it lovely jubbly but this Christmas tree near Durham looks like one of his wide-boy cons.
He would surely be chuckling as Boycie of Only Fools and Horses switched on the lights dwarfing the four-foot fir in Sacriston.
Actor John Challis, who played the dodgy car dealer in the BBC sitcom, made no comment.
However one villager complained: “It’s ironic that Del Boy’s mate was here — it’s just the kind of thing that Del Boy would sell.”
Parish councillor Allen Turner said that the tree had been damaged in strong winds. Now a replacement is to be planted by Durham county council.
Nice one, as Del Boy would say.
