Dad can't compete with neighbour's 30ft tree… puts up funny Christmas decoration in response

A DAD who says he couldn’t compete with his neighbour’s 30ft illuminated tree put up a funny Christmas decoration in response.

Tom Durrant spent £150 on chicken wire and lights to create a sign outside his home saying “DITTO”, with an arrow pointing to the tree.

Property marketing expert Tom, 35, left, of Sandhurst, Berks, said: “I thought I’d be a bit cheeky.

"My wife was a bit embarrassed and my five-year-old son thought ‘ditto’ was a swear word.

"But I’ve found it funny and so have locals.

"Thankfully, so have my neighbours.”
