Exactly,they sweated like pigs doing my neighbours DG and ade a complete pigs ear of it,didn't even have decency to clean their hands before applying the sealant on the finishing strips. Its supposed to look white but looks as though its been there for ten years and is all over the place instead of a straight line. One DG window frame is twisted at the side and the glass has now cracked at the corner,probably because they had a job trying to get it in because of the twist? |

I worked as a freelance once at Air Studios in Hampstead. The chef came round with the menu and took your order for lunch - and the time you wanted it. Bit of a change from the BBC. -- *A bicycle can't stand alone because it's two tyred.* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
