Some people are Jacks of all trades and masters of none, others are just plain great at a whole load of stuff. The brains behind the Worcester Decorator blog is one such specimen. They’re clearly exacting and very good at their job, but when it comes to putting their daily experiences down in words, they’re equally excellent.This supremely well-written diary entry charts the average day in the life of the Worcester decorators and it’s brilliantly funny and interesting to read – especially for anybody considering entering the trade. Great stuff!
