They're Not Holding the Ceiling Up

In matters of taste, almost anything goes in Britain so long as it's old. The problem for householders is which version of 'oldness' to choose. (1992)

In matters of taste, almost anything goes in Britain so long as it's old. The problem for householders is which version of oldness to choose.

But does it matter if you cheat? Phil and Ann's council house has a cottage-y, stately home kind of feel. Mark and Kathryn, meanwhile, have installed brand new 'old' oak beams. Wendy and Andrew avoid real antiques for fear of woodworm, while Richard and Abigail simply wouldn't dream of buying reproduction. (1992)
