DIY disastersI just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.
Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.
Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

Well, I'll explain.My dads side of the family were working class northerners and we lived on a council estate in Blackburn, Lancshire. My mum's side of the family were well-to-do middle class from Germany. So during the week we had very broad Lancashire accents but still my class mates thought I was posh. When I went to see my maternal grandparents we were admonished for not speaking correctly and being common etc. Talk about torn in two directions. It's only attending Polytecnic that caterpulted me more towards being middle class. Well, that and when I started using balsamic vinigar in my cooking.
