              Critical project management meeting was held about 5 hours ago, the result of which would determine whether we go live or not.
              You'd expect that the PM team would want to communicate out to those on the project the results of the meeting. No they haven't.

                  Or you could just cut the worksurface to as close as possible and then add a splash back, this will hopefully follow the wall and cover any poor cuts.

                    Wickes should be arriving with the worktop in about five minutes

                      I thought about that, but then my inner obsessive got into thinking about how to precisely map the kitchen onto the worktop for cutting, and that seems like more fun
