The whole conversation seemed to revolve around how much money he earns., I noticed. Somehow, he managed to bring every topic back to his salary., Exactly. He seemed reluctant to discuss his financial situation., True. It was refreshing to hear such a wide range of opinions., Considering all the publicity, I thought the restaurant was rather mediocre., Absolutely. It exceeded my expectations in almost every respect., Perhaps we should have booked before turning up., Same here. There was nothing particularly memorable about it., The transformation is astonishing, considering how little they spent., Yes, the final bill was considerably higher than expected., It just shows what you can achieve with a bit of imagination., I agree. It looks almost exactly as it did before., Would you mind not blasting out music while I’m trying to work?, Sorry, I hadn’t realised it was disturbing you., Of course. I’ll put on something with a stronger beat., Not at all. I’ll leave the volume exactly where it is., Can you pass me something to serve the soup with? This spoon is tiny., There’s a whisk beside the cooker, if that helps., The sieve should keep the vegetables out of it., Try the ladle in the drawer beneath the hob., How much washing powder should I put in?, Whisk it until there are no lumps left., One level scoop should be enough for that load., Pour it through a funnel once the cycle has finished., Apparently, we’re in for a relatively mild winter., Perhaps our heating bills won’t be quite so painful this year., Then we’d better prepare for weeks of temperatures below freezing., That explains why last summer was unusually hot., The hem has come down, and I’m leaving in twenty minutes., You should have chosen a different colour., There’s no point repairing it if it still fits you., Get me a needle and thread; I can put in a few stitches., I can’t get a firm grip on this bent piece of wire., A ruler will tell you whether it’s long enough., Try these pliers; you’ll have more control over it., Some electrical tape should make it easier to see., Could you lend me your soldering iron? A wire has come loose from the circuit board., You’d be better off stitching it back into place., Certainly. It should help you drill a replacement hole., Of course, provided you’re confident you know how to use it., This screw won’t tighten properly; it just keeps turning., The hole may be too wide for it to grip., Then it must already be holding the shelf securely., Try using the ruler to turn it anticlockwise., Surely you’re not planning to balance on that chair to change the bulb?, Only until I’ve finished repairing the chair., Fair point. Could you hold the stepladder steady instead?, Don’t worry. I’ll move the chair further away from the light., I’ve wiped up the spilled coffee with a cloth, but the floor still feels sticky., Put some tissues underneath the table before you spill it., Leave it; that means the cloth has absorbed everything., I’ll fetch the mop and bucket and give it a proper clean., The handle has broken off. Do you think glue will hold it?, Possibly, but I wouldn’t trust it with anything heavy inside., Definitely, provided you pull it apart before it dries., There’s no need to attach it if you want to use the handle., Have you got a tin opener? This tin hasn’t got a ring pull., You could use the scissors to cut through the label., I thought all tins were sold empty these days., There should be one beside the cutlery tray., The clothes pegs keep snapping whenever I hang out anything heavy., Perhaps the tumble dryer is running too hot., It might be worth investing in some sturdier ones., Try putting fewer clothes in the laundry hamper., When you said you needed plaster, I assumed you’d cut yourself., No, I meant the stuff for repairing the crack in the wall., Exactly. Could you pass me the paintbrush?, I did, but a clothes peg should stop it bleeding., There’s a terrible draught coming from somewhere near the window., Shall I open it a little wider to keep the room warm?, That’s probably why the room feels so stuffy., The frame may need sealing; I can feel cold air coming through., The clothes airer is taking up half the bedroom., Then put the wet clothes back in the laundry hamper until next week., We could get one that folds away when we’re not using it., You should leave the tumble dryer door open while it’s running., The windshield wiper is moving, but it’s leaving streaks across the glass., The rubber blade probably needs replacing., You must have forgotten to switch it on., At least that proves the windscreen is completely clean., Why does the recipe say to plunge the vegetables into iced water?, So they’ll continue cooking at the same temperature., To give them time to absorb as much water as possible., To stop them cooking further and help preserve their colour., The sauce is full of lumps. Can it still be rescued?, Use the tongs to turn it over before it burns., Try working it through a sieve, then whisk it until smooth., Pour it onto a trivet and allow the liquid to drain away., These tongs are far too clumsy for removing that tiny splinter., I’ll get the tweezers and a magnifying glass so we can see it properly., Try squeezing harder; that should make the splinter bigger., The ladle might give you a firmer grip., I keep spilling oil whenever I try to fill this narrow bottle., Put a trivet underneath it to make the opening wider., A sieve will separate the oil from the bottle., Use a funnel, but pour slowly so it doesn’t overflow., Can I put this pan straight onto the wooden table?, Only if you cover the handle with a cloth., Better put a trivet underneath; it’s still extremely hot., Yes, as long as you’ve already served the food., My thighs are aching after all that digging with the spade., Perhaps a hot water bottle would be comforting. Make sure it’s wrapped., That’s surprising; digging never involves your leg muscles., You should carry on until you can no longer feel them., This extension lead has exposed wires. Shall I just wrap some insulating tape around it?, Yes, and connect a few more appliances to check whether it works., Only if the tape matches the colour of the cable., I’d stop using it and replace it; tape isn’t a reliable fix for that., Is the article claiming that the birth rate has fallen because childcare is so expensive?, Yes, it says more babies are being born as childcare costs rise., It suggests that’s one factor, rather than the sole explanation., No, it simply compares the cost of childcare in several cities., We need experience to get funding, but we need funding to gain experience. Meanwhile, we’re making do with borrowed equipment., That’s a real Catch-22. Could you partner with an established organisation?, At least you’ve already met both requirements., Then buying all your own equipment has clearly solved the problem., Shall I use these tissues to cover the cut?, Yes, rub them firmly over it until they break apart., Only after you’ve measured the cut with a ruler., There’s some sterile gauze in the first-aid kit; use that instead.
