Goodbye 'Shagged Piles' Carpet


Alas, this is a sad day in Upper Ramsbottom as we wave goodbye to all the carpets in our house to be replaced by a new set of browney-cream things.

Of particular sadness is the loss of the 30-odd year old yellow 'shagged piles' carpet upstairs.

This carpet was magical in that it would fill the bag of the vacuum cleaner single-handed every time you hoovered it. It also looked really vulgar and appalled every visitor who saw it - though most people politely tried not to comment on it.

We'll miss it really...

Actually I'm lying. Good riddance...
