    in the old days, people stuff newspaper under the carpet. how many times have I lifted a carpet to get waylaid reading 1985 paper.

    1985!

    You mean that you change the paper every time you change the carpet.

    Must be posh round your way.

    A good quality underlay will make a cheap/hard wearing carpet feel a lot better.

    Get a decent underlay.

    Good underlay and a cheap carpet will last a lot longer than a dear carpet with no underlay.


    The floorboards under the carpet are harsh and will cause premature wear on the most used areas.
