 :D  It was a grammatical point chuck...Nowadays one has to seek out cobbled streets. Great for sparkin' clogs but not so good in winter wi' ice on 'em.

I'm ashamed to say I have a gardener, but when people admire my garden I take all the credit! ;)

Ashamed? Why? I have one too, to do the things I find difficult. He's a Jack of all trades as he's one of those blokes who can turn his hand to most things. For example, the plumber wanted upwards of £1200 to get a macerating toilet and fit it and told me it wasn't practical to put it where I wanted to so I bought it myself and Dennissed it for £80. Well fitted, where I wanted it, 3 hrs work. Perfik.

I'm ashamed because I could do it myself but he's cheap and I can't be ar$ed.

Both of the people who do work for me get paid what I think they're worth. I might pay them less but I appreciate people who get on with the job and don't stop until it's done. If I think they've worked hard enough to need a break, I'll make either or both a cuppa. Not because they expect it but because they won't take a break unless I do.
