They could have just swapped out the worn tiles for new or even with the edges, that would have made a better advert in terms of a long term investment.
I wonder if the new reel is in fact a ‘duck you’ to Tommy. Perhaps hers been suggesting she should reduce Ada’s hours and step up even as her job is more flexible? All this ‘I don’t feel guilt because Dad’s don’t’ is utterly ridiculous. She wants all the benefits and protection as a woman but she wants to ‘parent like a dad’, and by that she means absent, crappy dads.
