Of mice and men
A story in the South Wales Evening Post grabs my attention. Factory worker, Mark Jones paid £500 to a local furniture superstore so as to replace his old couch, and had a plush burgundy leather sofa delivered to his Swansea flat. But shortly after its arrival, he discovered a hole in its bottom, surrounded by droppings. His suspicions were later confirmed when he caught sight of a mouse in his house.
Now the store has offered to replace the sofa. A spokesperson is quoted as saying: "We try to look at these things sympathetically." I should bloody well think so!
