Remember the days when you could call a spade a spade and no one jumped in with, “actually, that’s a shovel”? We recall those days with fondness here at Property and Home. It’s why we strive to keep things simple, to wrap, package and label with clarity for our readers, if you’ll pardon the festive pun.
