A whiter shade of pale
A second man has been out to inspect the woodwork at the H&J which was repainted after the Big Flood of 2010. It was painted white but has rapidly turned a bilious shade of yellow and we are not satisfied (as usual). If we’d wanted cream woodwork we would have asked for cream woodwork. We wanted woodwork as white and bright as a nuclear explosion and not discoloured like a smoker’s teeth. Anyway, after the last man came out and spoke to me, our insurance company said some amount of yellowing was normal, particularly when there was a lack of natural light like at the H&J. However, this made Helen see red mist and she has now taken charge of the case, summoning out the second man. This time she handled negotiations, speaking to the poor man loudly and firmly while I hid in my bedroom. He did concede that the woodwork looked more “heritage cream” than white after Helen went on at him. He says he is going to get in touch with the paint company to try and find out why it has yellowed so rapidly. We await his report.

p.s. I was angry of Seeds yesterday. I sent a livid email to Spohn Spewis about a delayed parcel and then the parcel turned up this morning. I’m still being compensated though. Brilliant.

Was it a badly wrapped parcel from a small boy? (Sickening Spohn Spewis Christmas ad)
