That surely can't be true? Really? This is a spoof, isn't it?

The article I’ve found, Daily Mail states probably funded by Tory Donations, sorry, can’t seem to link.

I remember that Dominic Cummings had a lot of support here on Gransnet, both for his 200 mile trip during a pandemic lockdown and for his 30 mile trip to test his eyesight with a four year old in the car. All sorts of excuses were made for him. But I do feel that since he is no longer advising the Prime Minister, and Cary Symonds has more influence, the decisions taken by Boris Johnson have been greatly improved. I am no fan of any of them, but in a choice between Cummings and Symonds, she seems to have more sense, just not a very good eye for interior design, if this is an example.

It is rather shocking I agree Maizie

It's very 'grannyish'.

Is the 80's, wall to wall Laura Ashley/William Morris, back in fashion?

So is it her taste that you have an issue with, the amount spent, her taste in men or all 3 vegansrock?

I'm obviously not vegansrock, but my answer would be 'yes' to all three. grin

That is an appalling bit of interior decorating....

It looks as if Lurch is about to open the door and say "You rang?"

Each to their own though.

It has to be all three surely.

You'd struggle to distinguish the sofa from the wall behind it when you wanted to sit down wouldn't you grannypipergrin.

This must be false news surely?

It looks like a brothel, or at least what I imagine one to look like?.

Oh my, you really wouldn't want to be drinking too much fizz in that room.

One should never spill wine Callistemon it's such a waste!!

vegansrock Good choice, at least better than the cream sofa as any spilt red wine won't show so much!

I wonder if Meghan has one like that ?

Bad taste in furnishings is the least of the reasons to criticise this Vote Leave government

Well, it cost me £3000 just to get my hall stairs and landing done and we bought the supplies, so for an old building it was probably a good price.

Each to their own in terms of decor and choices in men. How do you know this was taxpayers money?

vegansrock Tue 02-Mar-21 17:47:32

I wonder if her taste in furnishings matches her taste in men.
