Re: Carrie Symonds and the Gold Wallpaper
The place isn't theirs and since such things are supposedly to help maintain the property and will be available to future occupants, I really don't see the problem.

Conversation is what places like this are all about.
When it starts to look like illogical hatred it grates - and I'm not blaming you but rather the cruddy organisations including our media that so brazenly promote such reactions.

It is no business of anyone else.
No, it's not an "interpretation" - the photos are examples of Lytle's "style", which Symonds admires.
I have no idea about property ownership and responsibilities for the refurbishment for Nos 10 & 11 - other posters are privy to that sort of information.
Obviously, if Johnson is paying for the redecoration of private quarters then it is of little interest to anyone, except the millions who are "passionate" about home improvement (TV programmes, magazines, websites, etc.)
If the money is coming from the public purse then every taxpayer should take an interest in how their money is being spent.

You mean it isn't your reading my posts that is getting you all upset.
Or is it you thinking that I'm upset that is getting you so upset?

On 21 May 2009, The Daily Telegraph reported on Viggers' claims as part of its investigation of MPs' expenses, which it said showed Viggers was paid more than £30,000 for gardening expenses over three years. The paper noted in particular that Viggers had attempted to claim for a "pond feature" worth £1,645 which was identified as a "floating duck island".
