IF A JOB'S WORTH DOING RIGHT/ THEN THEY'LL DO IT WRONG: We have some sympathy for Peter Gabriel, forced by crap builders to resort to legal action - we once were told by our landlord when we complained about a leaking flat roof that he was aware of the problem, but when he'd tried to use the warranty from the builders they'd threatened to break both his legs - but we're not sure why it took him twelve years to decide enough was enough. That's an awful lot of packets of HobNobs to be providing. Wouldn't most people have said "enough" when the site foreman was telling them "Yeah, it looks odd at the moment, but in about three years when we've got the new windows in, you'll see what we've done then…" Pete's initial comments - that the builders might say he was a "bit of a perfectionist" - suggest we could be in for an entertaining court case. We wonder if he wanted the party wall replaced by a harmonic convergence?
