It may come to that yet. Trouble is, tbh, that the house is nearly 300 years old and the doors are original. Mrs Nick would not welcome me drilling holes in them and suchlike

Sic him on the painter and see if he can get a reduction on the bill. Tell the boy its a day less without TV/Computer access for every £20 he can get knocked off the price. whistle:
