    3. Dear all, I cant recall posting this before, so here go's: Harken? <g> How about the home for the blind built in Oslo and due to be opened by the King of Norway? Just before the official party arrived it was discovered that the workmen hadn't quite finished the gents cloakroom, and the washbasins weren't fitted. They grabbed three builders hods and put them on the wall where they looked quite modern and scandinavian to match the decor. All was well, until three months later they found the hods were still there and in use as washbasins. Which just goes to show that "A Hod is as Good as a Sink to a Blind Norse!" Gives one that sinking feeling eh! Perhaps they had been used as something else too? <g> Best, Yours, Mikey.
