Fake one although I love the smell of a real one.
This is the 4th year we've had this one so next year we'll have something different.

I'll get a real one. I think it would be the Norway spruce, as in more expensive but looks better and doesn't drop its needles like a fir.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Went out with Tina today and bought a locally grown spruce, could be of Norwegian (Blue  ) descent, but I voted real other... That is the first tree I've ever bought.

My lights have just packed up and I really can't be arsed to go through the process of finding out which bulb has gone, so will have to get some more lights.

Look for the burned effect on the glass, that usually gives it away.
The new set we bought last year already had a broken bulb. It didn't take long to track it down and replace it.

I had that last year. I opted for LED lights instead. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

They definitely have their plus points, but as l3v1ck mentioned, I don't like the light so much. A bit like energy saving bulbs.
