Winner The Carpet Care People Frequently Asked Questions Here’s a selection of frequently asked questions especially for you sceptics (you know who you are). 1. When you say ‘carpet’ what do you mean? We mean average size areas, say 10x12ft ish. But we don’t quibble if the areas are a little larger - it’s all done on fairness really. 2. Do you move furniture? Our pricing policy reflects the time it takes to clean working around furniture, rather than moving it. That said, we are for example, happy to move your three piece suite backwards and forwards cleaning under it and replacing it back into position. What we don’t price into the job at these discount prices is moving large pieces of furniture like bookcases, sideboards or wardrobes. Similarly we are not insured to move electrical items, in particular flat-screen tvs. Again we apply common sense and fairness to the situation and inevitable we do end up moving some furniture around, even at these discount prices. 3. Upholstery we specialise in cleaning and refreshing 3 piece suites (at our current offer price of £97). Fabric Master, our special upholstery and cleaning system is safe, gentle, and very effective. Fibres are restored to their original beauty and softness - you’ll see! Are there any ‘hidden’ extra costs? The prices quoted above are fully-inclusive and are the actual prices you will pay.

The Curtis Museum and Allen Gallery, Alton

There is a great deal to browse in the Gallery and the Museum, once we are open again. (Hopefully the end of May - keep an eye on our Website.) In the meantime, Culture on Call contains all sorts of information on the Collections, arts, culture and heritage in Hampshire. cultureoncall.com

At the back is a delft apothecary pill slab hand-painted in blue and white with the arms of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries and the motto Opifer Que Per Orbem Dicor set within a banner. The octagonal-shaped slab has two holes to the upper edge to enable this to be hung. These were made in Bristol and London. Pill-slabs or pill-tiles were traditionally thought to have been used to roll out pill ingredients, but the elaborate and decorative nature of these plaques suggests that they were more commonly used for display purposes. Also many seem to have very little damage. The shield depicts Apollo, associated with healing, holding a bow and arrow above a dragon, a symbol of disease. The motto refers to Apollo and translates as 'I am the bringer of help throughout the world'. With thanks to Jane Hurst
