DIY Disasters

Nearly one in 10 individuals who try to fix flat-pack furniture finish up doing themselves harm, a study has disclosed.

Some injuries, like hitting a digit with a tool, meant a journey to A & E.

Experts at the University of Derby discovered that out of 1,295 members of the public, 40 per cent got angry with the task, 33 per cent didn't read the instructions properly, while 13 per cent ruined their possession, states the Mirror newspaper.
