About Painter Decorators: Elephant breath, fifty shades of white and 'the begrudged husband'

This week, our guest is Ruth, a professional decorator who rocks a pair of pink overalls and loves inspecting the paintwork in nightclub toilets! In this episode, we discover why there is more to the job than 'slapping a bit of paint on the walls' (Joe's words), why there are so many different shades of white, and how to actually wallpaper a wall. There is also a lot of talk about elephant breath, among other weirdly named colours.
