We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Steve Firth
saying something like:

But the same lot have also spent a fecking fortune on installing a sunshade
in the garden which they could have purchased from the most expensive
supplier in Europe for about 1/10th of the price.

****'s sake. 7.5 grand for that? Ok, some of that will be labour, but
really. The canopy is nothing more than a bit of tarp, a few poles and
some guy wire - about 300quid max I would think.

Of course, the designer/architect's fees on top - that would really
inflate it.
