You dont remember some years ago having a conversation (85~ with me, and I asked you what you paid for limewashing,

You.
And you were astonished how cheap it was?
16686
Yea. I recommended that the Government should undertake
the limewashing.
We know ourselves that the Government were paying 100 16.687

at the H. 0. H. said at the time.
Do you think it is worth paying double for ↑
