The Locksmith was a right *******!

But why didn't Dom Littlewood tell the bloke in the bit on Houses that all
radiators will lift off?

Some people seem to think that houses that cost more should be of better
quality. Sorry - not the case - they cost more because they occupy more
land, take longer to build and use more materials.

A radiator in an expensive house is still able to lift off - it is designed
like that!

I made me a bit angry!

Obviously he didn't know. These TV celebrities mostly know nothing.
Just a mouth and trousers. And an irritating accent.

Actually they are more because there's someone willing to pay more.
Some of the reasons you give may be true in some cases, but need not
necessarily be true. No one pays more for a house simply because it
took longer to build, or because it used more materials.

I have not seen Watchdog for years. Has anything changed?

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

You want to watch that; could disappear up your own fundament.

Possibly because some radiators won't lift off?
