I’m suffering from (or committing) something that I hereby dub Meme lag. I haven’t done a lyrics quiz. I haven’t done a “five lies”.

We’ve just had a quote from a carpenter to build fitted cupboards and shelves into two chimney-breast alcoves. He’s asking around £1100 for the pair. This seems on the expensive side to us, but maybe it’s not. Anyone have any recent experience of London (or elsewhere) carpenter-pricing?
