Hi Lisa, I don't mean to sound rude but I can't keep ignoring the Pete-sized elephant in the room.
How is my old mate?

Have a look at your birthday thread and decide for yourself
I had always assumed that Pete was a master of all things DIY.
Unfortunately not. He has absolutely no idea how to do anything or how anything works. If I google a problem and watch the YouTube videos and explain it to him and then show him what needs doing, he is kind of willing to help. My Dad finds it quite incredible that Pete has never changed a washer on a tap. I think he has changed a plug but he would definitely ask me which way round the live and neutral go.
I did all kinds of jobs with my Dad as a child and because of that I just have so much more confidence. When tradesmen come to the house I always offer to help and I ask lots and lots of questions. Some will even let me do certain tastes under their instruction. Some like it, some don’t. I’m an acquired taste. Pete usually cringes and disappears off somewhere. I find it easy to ask if I don’t understand something, Pete would never ask. Male pride I think.
