No ... I'm not advertising :nono-1-1: - nor is the latter a relative of mine. :NoNo: But did you know that the co-founder of this up-market firm of fabric and wallpaper designers is Sir Peter Osborne - none other than the father of Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne?

Quite appropriate in some ways, really :rolleyes: ... because Osborne Jr seems to be pretty adept at "papering over the cracks" in the British Economy. Well ... :anerikke: ... why should he worry? After all, he's heir apparent to the Baronetcy of Ballentaylor & Ballylemon in County Tipperary, Ireland.

However, since Osborne Sr is only a year or so older than me, George may yet discover "it's a long way to Tipperary" for him! ;)
