    In the 70,s, 70% of carpets we fitted were axminsters and they seemed to handle alright, but i must admit they seam alot stiffer these days.

    where i dont fit the stuff very often anymore it was a bit of a shock to the system how much more invovled and time consumeing it was, enjoyed it though nice to something a bit more challenging.I bet there's a lot of young fitters out there who've never fitted the stuff.
