Room to improve

I HAD to laugh at the letter about saying the wrong thing when visiting a relative’s new home. When my daughter moved to a bungalow, I went round the rooms saying how nice they were.

But when I said: ‘The lounge will look better still when you get that awful wallpaper off and redecorate’, there was a dreadful silence. Then my daughter said coldly: ‘I’ve just decorated.’ Oops!
