I’m away on holiday until the 13th February, so I’ll leave you with some tile humour.

Well, it may be humour!

Evaluation day

Many thanks for the kind reader who sent me the personnel records of Norfolk & Chance (Tiling Contractors). These staff evaluations confirm my faith in the high quality of the tradesmen attracted to the tiling industry,

“Since my last report, this employee has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.”

“I would not allow this employee to breed.”

“Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.”

“He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.”

“He is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.”

“The biggest tool in the shed.”

“Clearly from the shallow end of the gene pool.”

“So dense light bends around him.”

“His team would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid curiosity.”

With thanks to Dr Grout AKA Tony Hyde.
