We’ve not even had the chance to fume over this seasons, corrupt var decisions, and the nobheads at the fa are trying to introduce... Miss Marple and the mysterious end to the P/L season.
 

John the decorator is called in to the office his boss. "John for the integrity of our decoratoring business, we need to finish the decorating job at number 1892."

John's boss is a bit of an egotistical idiot and simply wants to be able to tick off the job at number of 1892 because then his sales will look better - 19 jobs done!

John reads the remit and the back bedroom needs to be painted red according to his boss, but this is a major problem for John for a number of reasons.

First, the back bedroom can't be painted because the boy, whose room it is, is quite sick, so John decides to paint the other bedroom. "I've got to finish the job!"

He looks in his van and sadly he hasn't got any red paint either, so he decides to use some green paint. "I've got to finish the job! This will do! " he tells himself.

Unfortunately, John then runs out of green paint before he's finished the wall, so John decides that instead of four walls being painted he'd only do three.

"For the integrity of the job, I'll just say three walls is good enough" he says. John has lots of other houses to do, but nothing is as important as number 1892.

He and his colleagues have a job down in Brighton, amongst other places, but they're not really as important as completing the first job at whatever the cost.

John walks back into the office with a smile on his face. "Done boss! I finished number 1892 like you said." He'd done whatever that had to be done to finish it.

The boss glances at the tick-list. Painted red? No. Back bedroom painted? No. All four walls? No. All the other jobs done? No "Hey ho, I can tick 1892 off the list!"
