You drill it - I'll screw it!

There are times when the easiest way to get a job done is to do it yourself!

Last year Stafford Borough Council erected four 'Welcome to Stone' display notice boards on our car parks and at the end of Mill Street. Sadly, the laminated information sheets displayed inside soon faded in the sunlight and were removed many months ago. Replacement sheets made out of more sturdy material were ordered and then all went quiet!

Yesterday I had a phone call from Tim Scott who told me that he'd made enquiries and, lo and behold, the boards were there at Stafford waiting for someone to install them! "Bring them to Stone", I said, "and I'll do it myself."

Tim came over today and between us we've done the job! Tim drilled the holes and I used my DIY skills to screw the boards in place. Although I say it myself, they look pretty impressive. Visitors should now be able to find their way around the town.

I wonder how long the boards would have stayed in Stafford if Tim hadn't enquired!
