    My money is it'll be burned down on December 17th
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    In an uncharacteristic display of optimism I reckon it'll see in the new year.

    According to this article they reckon they've beefed it up this year with some flame retardant stuff so I'm reckoning it'll last until the 31st...

    I was more interested in the People Watching gallery though, number 9, very nice :twisted:

    They've used flame retardant straw for the last few years but it still burns :twisted:

    This year they have moved one of the Taxi stands closer to it so as to hopefully have people around to discourage the pranksters.

    23rd.

    .......'Cos I'm optimistic that the flammable l'il b*st*rd may make it for most of the month.

    I'll go for the 23rd in time to bring in Christmas day with a flourish....

    As for the flame retardant article, that as published in 2013 and it didn't work then either! Flame retardency generally just means it burns slower (hint in the name!), google FMVSS302 (know that one off the top of my head) if you want some idea of how these things work.

    if they don't get that thing torched soon i'm heading over there to sort it out!

    I have a bit of previous experience in the matter! Though no animals were hurt in the course of my pyromania!

    This is turning out to be a bit of a damp squib. Can't we start a charitable thread to raise money for a forumite to go to Gavle and set the bloody thing alight?
    Who's volunteering or should I say, who should we 'volunteer'?

    Looks like moving the Taxi rank has done the job.

    Or not........it's only so highly followed because it burns, if it doesn't burn, no-one will be interested!
