I know, [...]

I have said, on numerous occasions, to all and sundry (i.e. DIY Dad, the Amazent Monsieur H, the Coffee Fairy and more), when they ventured opinions on my preferred colour scheme, the shades of grey, the skirting board paint and more: …whatever gave you the impression this household was a [...]
