will_warne Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Well done Bish - glad you got something sorted quickly. However, I see a probem with your list of to dos. I see no installation of deep pile carpet, climate control or wing backed armchairs. One cannot be seen to lower one's standards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exmoor Beast Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Looks straight and tidy enough Bish, well done. If Defenders are good enough for the Queen I am sure you can lower your standards a bit Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffa Cakes will be provided!! Last time I give up three hours of my time on a wet Saturday, lie in a running stream of water and crawl under a vehicle for you! Fair do's my assistant and I did get a MaccyD but I'm not that easily bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
