Sisterly love....and British workmanship !

My sister has had one or two problems with her new fitted bathroom. She ordered a round sink and somehow the template on arrival was for a square sink.  British workmanship at it's best, the ' bathroom fitter' who must surely be from Irish stock,  thought he would fit the round sink into the square hole and no one would notice. Well , he was correct, no one did notice until my sisters husband was sitting doing his bodily functions , he called his wife and said 'sit here and have a look at this'. To her horror she saw a square template for a sink with a round sink stuck in the centre padded with what was left over from materials used to fit her new bathroom.

Immediately she was on the phone to complain and after a long discussion they agreed to put things right, but now the floor will have to be pulled up so the new template for a round sink may be fitted.


In between time whilst waiting, my sister has decided she will carry on grouting the tiles herself, she loves to sing and started singing ' Its a heart ache, nothing but a fools game'....referring to the shoddy workmanship when her husband burst out.....'your a 'bonnie tyler'....such is life in my sister homes...why cry when you can laugh !
