Sure, fair comment, but if you are getting where I am getting, you spend more time looking for your tool, cleaning the blinking things the kids left oily, looking for your garage light (that your son lent to a friend, not telling you) tripping over the dog's water bucket that needs filling, after cleaning, and by the time you get to where you've been going, you forgot what you went for. On the way back you come past the dogs water and notice the tap is dripping, and the seal has gone. Next you are digging a hole to shut the water off at the mains, only to find the handle has rusted to pieces and you can't switch it off. Then phone the council to send a repair team, only to hang on to the phone and go through options 1 to 7 before you get to an operator, who promptly hangs up on you, start again, hand the phone to the wife, cuss and swear go to the garage, the dog has stolen one shoe, searching the whole yard for the one shoe, finding it in front of the other door..... sorry, what was the question??
