Flat-pack

[theatrically_inclined]

If you've read a certain book you will know that Nora wanted a new flat-pack wardrobe, while the Co-op was having a sale.
My "Nora" has just bought two flat-pack wardrobes, for me to assemble ...

Why!?

There is no part marked "143090" (but "100684" seems to be right) there are not 2 x "S30158" screws you need child-sized hands to screw in part "S36516" all 12 of them (x 2 for two wardrobes)... You need three hands (you can't count "Nora") to fit the back panel and it's made more difficult when you've just whacked your thumb with a hammer!

Yes but is your "Nora" barking instructions at you like a Sergeant Major and you cannot fail for fear of getting it wrong

I would have loved to have seen Howard & Pearl trying to put a flat pack together, what an amazing storyline RC missed !!!!

Howard had to assemble a flat pack chest of drawers. Pearl wouldn't let him out until he finished.

True, but Pearl with the instructions standing over a kneeling Howard screwdriver in hand would have been comedy gold!!!
