He's at it again! (Rolls eyes.)

Christmas treecame down minus yet another foot. It's been hobbling on 3 for
years. Instead of going to the nearest B&Q and just getting a new tree, him
indoors has decided to make replacements. (Sigh.)

The tree is knackered anyway, but oh no, Scrooge reckons he can 'make' a
foot and coax another 10 years out of it. It's probably just a ruse to get
out of wrapping presents...
