Last week I install a light fitting for a customer, hideous thing in my
opinion, but there you are.

It had three arms, with glass droplets attached, linked by chains of
droplets. It came in a box. Inside the box was a plastic bag. Inside
that was another bag with 18 glass droplets, each in its own bag. In
another bag were three droplet chains, each in their own bags and three
candle like decorative tubes, each in their own bags.

1 box and 27 plastic bags!

Next day I put up some wooden curtain poles. Each shrink wrapped.
Removing the shrink wrap revealed the brackets, both shrink wrapped, the
finials, both shrink wrapped, the curtain rings (you've guessed it),
another bag with the screws and finally the pole itself was shrink wrapped.

Some days I swear I spend more time unwrapping stuff than I do
installing it. No wonder there's an oil crisis!
