Landscaping and drainage is getting interesting…
Wade concealed drainage channels
Alumasc Rainwater
House of Commons escapee Tristram Hunt sits in his William and Mary wing chair, and strokes his massive jade desk tiger absent-mindedly. ‘You know, Shere Khan,’ says Hunt as he surveys the ornamented vastness of his domain, ‘Here I sit, in the bone-dry sanctum of the V&A, the heaviest rainfall invisibly spirited to hidden drains by our Alumasc Wade HCE drainage channels, while the Commons’ indoor moistening would have shorted my circuits and revealed my cyborg origins in the flash of an environmentalist’s nipple. My secret is safe… for now.’
Diamond Premier trellis
Jacksons Fencing
A Mrs Trellis of North Wales has written in to I’m Sorry I haven’t a Clue chair Jack Dee to recommend the timber landscaping products of Jackson’s Fencing.
‘I was pleased to learn that Jackson’s have chosen to name a product after me,’ writes Mrs Trellis, ‘but while I am flattered to be called “a diamond” and “premier”, I am insulted to be described as “1.83m wide excluding wings”. My weight remains worryingly high despite an imposed low-carb diet, and I have never once set foot inside a bingo hall.’
