I hope the ungrateful, moaning, entitled bastards are pleased with themselves for embarrassing the nation. If they vote to never send us a tree again I’d totally bloody empathise.

 

Totally agree. Sadly we live in a material World and most have forgotten that 'it's the thought that counts'. As far as I'm concerned, it could have been a bare trunk and it would still have 'counted'. It actually looks quite nice bedecked in that traditional Norwegian way: thank you Norway, your kind thoughts are sincerely appreciated.

 

Hideously embarrassing. Apologies to any Norwegian members of our site.

Exactly.
