The man from the carpet warehouse came yesterday to measure up. At
the end he said "Don't take up the gripper rods - they can be re-
used". I told him that in the two previous houses where we'd
recarpeted we'd been told to take up the old gripper rods. He said it
was a waste of money - they can perfectly well be reused.

I don't want to spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar (not that the
rods would cost anything like a ha'porth) but is he right?


Well, that's me told. Thanks.
