    Angry You Can Do It ...

    ... if you 'B & Q' it?

    Aye ... that'll be right!

    Having taken delivery of a Garden Patio set comprising a pale green glass-topped table, 4 contrasting green canvas chairs & matching parasol - specially chosen for the unique colour combination - complete with component parts + allan key, I've been trying in vain to make sense of the accompanying assembly instructions ... printed in no fewer than *six different languages. Oh yes, English IS one of *those ... but the leaflet might as well be in Arabic, since (as per usual) the instuctions are presented in a complex diagrammatic format instead of a simple, straightforward guide.

    it may be the "modern trend" ... but it es me off, folks.

    Grrrrr ... !

    How about you?

    Possibly, Michael. ... who knows ... ... ? Right now, I'm close to reaching the end - "of my tether" with it!
