Electrician hoards Picasso works for 40 years

A piece of string is always two inches shorter than you thought it was and need it to be.

The first true observation so far!

You're confusing Picasso with Matisse.

Good lord.

Gratuitous demonstrations of your ignorance and lack of culture are something of a speciality of yours, aren't they.

I am not confusing Picasso with Matisse.

Nor am I confusing him with Magritte, who was actually the painter famous for surrealist works featuring bowler hats, and who was a Picasso forger.

You're right. Apologies!

(But there's no need to be quite so anally retentive aboiut it).

Perhaps electricians appreciate aesthetics after all.

Unlike interior decorators, who think it's all rules, formulae and tape measures.

Not at all. You 're barking up the wrong tree completely.

There is definitely a set of rules about where and how to hang pictures on walls

I suppose we could try to create a mathematical formula to say at which proportion of the wall between the floor and the ceiling the wall light should always go.

That's exactly what I was hoping someone would do.

I have come to the conclusion that the right place to put wall lights (with shades) for maximum aesthetic effect is at a point which is between two thirds and three quarters, ideally 0.71, of the distance from floor to ceiling, that point being the centre of the light.

Now this really does start to look like stalking.
