Martin is our builder. Martin was not in today but his business partner Derek was. He was talking to Martin's son who is a very good carpenter, as they bantered in the loft.
Derek: "The problem with your dad, Bobby, is communication. He comes across as a neanderthal. That week he said to that bird, that teacher 'Oy, Jenny, come here' when he wanted to show the bit of plastering he'd done. She came in and scowled at me and him. Don't know if they'd had an argument about something before but he'd really pissed her off. We're used to him. But those kind of people aren't."
