CHRISTMAS TREE VANDALISED AGAIN
Vandals have targeted Froghill’s Christmas tree for the second time this month.
Last week, several light bulbs attached to the tree on Froghill Common were smashed in the early hours of the morning on Sunday, December 11. And now the attackers have struck again, this time stealing the fairy from the very top of the tree.
"It's a shame because a lot of people get a great deal of pleasure from the tree," said local housewife Eileen Dacross.
"It's surprising because this is usually such a quiet town,” she went on, “but there are young people who sometimes hang around and cause trouble in the evenings.
"It's absolutely appalling and certainly not in the Christmas spirit. I'm surprised that no one heard anything because the tree stands right outside The King's Arms."
"What would they want with a fairy anyway?”
But another local resident, who declined to be named, admitted that although she was distressed about the vandalism, she felt this year's fairy was "too tarty".
"The fairy was much worse than last year's," she said. "Her skirt was very short and you could easily see right up it. And she was wearing very brief red panties. That kind of thing can inflame young minds, you know."
"Sometimes I think people forget the true meaning of Christmas,” she added.
