An Architect's signature stone chimney came under the hammer this afternoon, that is, the demolition hammer. Regardless of aesthetic consideration the chimney was flawed from the design stage despite the undoubted professional qualifications of its creator. "Whoever built this thing should have been taken out and executed" I remarked to Mrs D, making no attempt to conceal my opinions.
"Yes, well, when we bought the house we thought the extension would all have been built properly, there must be regulations about these things".
"Quite".
I must say I derived a certain amount of satisfaction as the chisel of the 'Kango' bit into the stonework and the chips began to fly, the monumental chimney was completely ruined by the time afternoon tea was served.
It's my experience that much of the world is a bit like those ubiquitous individual stainless steel teapots that seem to be incapable of performing the one task required of them, pour tea into a cup rather than all over everything else.
