    Default 'England's most Christmassy pub'

    Just 53 Christmas trees at the The Angel in Ripley, as reported by the BBC.

    Good effort from the Angel, but no cigar! Check out the Marine in Eastbourne!

    "It took landlord Phil Saunders and more than 20 regulars a fortnight to put up 450 sets of lights around The Marine in Eastbourne, East Sussex."

    Drive through there every weekday on the way to work and back, wouldnt be tempted to stop for any Christmas trees to be honest.

    Bah, humbug. A couple of cheap lighters should do the trick.
