The whole thing went over my head...

I forgot to say that the momentous meeting with Jane Asher was preceded by the National Home Improvement Council annual awards. No, really, this is the kind of thing I go to for a living. I shouldn't really knock it too much as we obviously have an awards ceremony ourselves that to the external* observer is pretty absurd, but even I had to wince at some of these.

Best Value in Window Replacement

Gas Safety in the Home

and my personal favourite, Roofing Excellence

The only saving grace was the misprint in the brochure that went with it. Look at it this way, if it really had been an award for the the Best Value in Widow Replacement, the afternoon would've been much more entertaining.


*And the internal too, there's no point denying it
