3rd November 2016 - Are you sitting Comfortably?

Thought for the day:" You don't get a body like mine overnight - it takes years of neglect and bacon.."

How is your latin ???
He who drinks sleeps
He who sleeps does not sin
He who does not sin is saintly
therefore - to drink is to be saintly

Seems a good reason to me .... 

In other news we bought a nice sofa from Tesco - or rather form a Tesco Partner called Warely furnishing...  It was a nice leather three seater recliner - hand made in the UK and reduced by £200 to what seemed a fairly reasonable price and delivery within 5 days.... In fact here it is ..

Looks nice and we really needed it as the old one had been used as a dog urinal for too many years and was impossible to febreeze back to life....

Of course, just after 7am this morning was not the time I was expecting to have it delivered, but two friendly Geordies with thick accent were there at the door and struggled in with what was a substantially heavy item in a cardboard box and left it in the living room as I staggered back to bed to catch the last hour of the night...

After breakfast we duly started to assemble said sofa, and it was as per the picture but didn't really look as though it was "real" leather..  but looked a little better than plastic so did not think too much about it until we started packing the cardboard... and read the label...

The "made in China" seemed a bit of a giveaway...  So I dutifully called the Tesco Help line who were very helpful and put me through to a lass called Jody English (she didn't want to give me her surname so that may or may not be true) who asked what the problem was and assured me that the settee was built in their factory - which seemed a little odd - but she asked for photographs which i have duly sent - copied into Tesco of course .. we shall see what happens... Nothing so far !! But I have low expectations but determination ...

I will admit it still looks good and fits the room nicely - but it does seem like a Trading Standard issue - I am working on the principle that it is a cheap Chinese copy of the "Jordan" British seat which would be a trading standard question as opposed to advertising it as British and then just importing form China which would be fraud and more difficult to prove...

We shall see ...   Nice to have a project... 

Cheers
