We had our fascias, gutters and so on replaced a month ago. The five blokes doing it didn't take any breaks. It was like a military operation. All done in two days.

There's so much competition for this type of work these days that they have to keep their prices low and go for volume of work. No time for breaks. They did fourteen other houses in our street in a few weeks.

I'm pleased with the job they did.

There we go, a very respectable post on guttering replacement to counter references to boiled eggs in hankies and other such lewdness. Balance is important. Speaking of which, how does the lady with big knockers next door manage to walk in high heels without falling over? I've often wondered.

Sorry, I fell off my high horse there. A disgraceful lapse. I don't deserve such lovely new guttering.

P.S. The front of my son's terraced house still has the original Victorian cast iron guttering. Over a hundred years old! There's probably about twenty coats of paint on it.
