The layout reminds me of being invited to visit the brand new house of my cellarman and his partner, a couple in their late 40s who had met at Uni and were childless, by choice.At one end of the room was the biggest TV you could get about 20 years ago. Between the 2 long couches was a coffee table on which there were 2 huge his'n'hers ash trays.Not only were they full to overflowing with a tottering pile of fag ends, but ringed around them were more dumps standing on end because they couldn't fit them in! To say I was astounded would be putting it mildly.She earned an eye-watering amount as a locum pharmacist and he was stock controller/eallarman , for 8 different bars and was very well paid.. I mention this because, if the pair were too lazy to even empty ash trays, they could have easily afforded cleaners.You just wouldn't invite people round would you? There was also a pile of dirty plated next to a state of the art dishwasher. At least they were well matched I suppose.....
It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
