Hi all

For a little light relief, I wondered if someone might provide a reasoned
reponse to the following:

2 nights ago I sat on the settee nursing a backstrain, when a loud crash
was heard from the hallway.
It transpired that a mirror had dropped from a picture hook on the wall,
hit a radiator on the descent with the glass section finishing trapped
behind the radiator.
With the exception of chipping to the edges and a small flake from the
edge/surface, the mirror, frame and backing had all survived.
The glass took some retrieving, but survived a DIY hoist operation (to
avoid draining rad and removing).
It is all now re-assembled and returned to its rightful place.

So my thoughts a

....
I believe that the lack of security of the mirror fixing may be
attibutable to SWMBO removing the mirror whilst builders were in and not
looping the string properly over the hook on replacement - only an
assumption, but does this make her culpable?

Yes.

But don't suggest that to her or you'll have more than 7 years bad luck.
