Good Evans, he's a lumberjack

It's always good to see a media multimillionaire putting in some hard graft before Christmas, so Monkey was delighted to buy a Christmas tree off Chris Evans at the weekend. Evans sells trees that have been grown on his Surrey estate outside the White Horse pub in Hascombe - with all the proceeds going to charity. The Radio 2 drivetime presenter showed the utmost patience as Monkey asked him to hold up several trees while lots of umming and aahing went on. When the tree was finally chosen - the first one Chris had picked out, actually - he obligingly trimmed the trunk to Monkey's exact specifications before hauling it into a netting machine. This is the sixth year that Evans has played woodsman and he has planted thousands more firs on his estate; so charities, such as Chase Hospice Care for Children, should benefit for years to come. Treemendous!
