Who owns some of these abominations? And why do they only spawn in the conservatories of the elderly?

My parents used to own a wicker chair when I was a kid. It was quite big and very uncomfortable to seat on which for a chair isn’t good. Think they brought in from a old furniture shop which was almost opposite the old regent cinema in Ipswich - no idea what that building is used for now.

Edit. Think it was a pizza or Italian restaurant at some point in the early 90s.

I have a large wicker man in my garden that you might find comfortable enough to take a nap in.

Only if a lot naked women dance around it whilst I’m in there. Not sure about setting it on fire though.

Think you may just be let off with a strongly worded letter from a social media lawyer.

I know it sounds harsh but these things have happened before...

Were Baddiel and Skinner ever funny?

I'm really struggling to think of anything that made me laugh.

One of them is now an oft quoted moral beacon for a certain individual of this parish.

I guess that’s funny in a twisted sort of way.

I have said before he was the Andrew Ridgely of the duo wasn't he.

There to fill a gap really.

He must have talents though to keep himself in the domain for as long as he has, but no, I wouldn't label him a comedian, whatever else he may be.

That's not Frank Skinner with him, it's Rob Newman.

Rob Newman is very funny and very clever.

And the History Today sketches were very, very funny, even though they had David Baddiel in them.

They hold dust.

As a kid, there was a small wicker chair in my bedroom. It was uncomfortable and as you rightly say was a perfectly designed trap for dust, dirt and a home for mini-beasts It was rubbish, basically.

It looks quite nice in a conservatory but even if I had one of those, I wouldn’t bother with wicker furniture. Lloyd Loom is the famous name with that stuff and I suspect if you have an old pre war chair, it has a value.
