OT Definition of "free"
Having trouble sleeping I got up and watched a Channel4 TV programme at around 4am. It was another of those programs that suggested that a house featured on the program had been been furnished for free, by carefully ignoring any of the real costs. Turn up with two men and a lorry to pick up something given away for free and weighing a couple of hundred weight which then is put into the hands of a professional interior designer and his mates to transform the rubbish into crap. Get something for free in Essex and transport it to Glasgow! [1] Again passing through the hands of designers who seem to have been down to the local shed to obtain £30 worth of wood/ply. It would probably been cheaper for the program makers to have visited a local furnishing store and purchased everything new. [1] This reminds me of phone calls that friends had when downsizing and putting good quality items on some social media sites. The items were being given away, for free. "Can you deliver it for free - I'm only 50 miles away?" - "Can you bring it around for us to have a look?" -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |
