By chance the other day, I hear some authoritative medical advice about getting old(er) . Keep your hips in one piece. Apparently at my age a broken hip is one of the markers to look out for. Why? It becomes increasingly difficult to recover from a slip and subsequent fall. So a trip to Topps Tiles has added significance: the manager at Morecambe points out the Pendulum Test Value (PTV) classification on his tiles - the range of slippiness extends from somewhere between Wet room approved and deadly. But ouch, the prices! Off to Wickes round the corner. My God what sloppy couldn't-give-a-stuff-staff. Tiles half the price. 'Scuse me Mr Wickes, are these wetroom tiles PTV rated? Wha' ? Tested for slippiness? Yep, 's on the packet Where, show me please. Drags himself reluctantly out of a nice comfy office chair ... Erm, erm, hold on, I ring 'ed office Yeah mate, funny you should ask - our 'ed office bloke said to go to Topps Tiles if you want PTV tiles. 'Ee used to be a manager at Topps Tiles see. Ya live and learn duntcha?
