SPEAKERS Colin Thomas, James Piecowye

Colin Thomas Okay, so the other side of that we've got the basic rules within houses of Dubai, which still aren't important for this part, which are never ever, ever use nails. Okay, yeah, so picture nails which are perfectly okay in the UK can use it in Canada. James Piecowye What a picture nails. Colin Thomas So more kind of thick, strong nails that are quite short, probably like an inch, inch and a half. They literally just can hammer the wall and put a picture up nice and easily.
