Same colour reference. First coat. Dulux Eggshell on the left, Dulux bathroom paint on the right.
I get that emulsion and water based wouldn’t be identical, but are we really having it that these are both what you would walk out with from the same colour swatch?!

There have been some strong contenders over the years, but I can't see a better candidate than this for worst English top division kit of all time.

Here is the latest in our 25 year long tradition of more than slightly unseasonal greetings cards.
Happy New Year and all that from all at Waugh Thistleton.

The smallest pack of onions in my local Tesco. I’m going away tomorrow but I want to cook dinner. Is there any wonder we waste so much.

Here at our practice we lead the world in generating new knowledge in sustainable architecture using wood, whilst designing and delivering buildings. Instead of employing people without paying them to support this, we simply are not rich. Happy to explain this model to Daniel.

There are many very valid reasons why people hate architects, and lots of invalid ones. But the ones that allow 'DDA Shower' to find its way all the way onto the signage of a finished project deserve everything they get.
'Excuse me sir, can you direct me to the anti-discriminatory shower?'

3rd party peer review of our LCA for Black and White is in, and I'm delighted to say there are no negative comments on our methodology.
Using their more recently published methodology (ie not available to us at the time) they are within 10% of our measured embodied carbon figure.
