I think it is a truism that we all "SEE" only what we expect to "see".
On Saturday afternoon I cut off my beard & moustache and had a double wet shave so my face was as bare as a baby's bum.
I went out into the garden and had a long chat with the missus and she just did not notice the change.
I "sounded" like me, I had the correct silhouette, correct verbal and body mannerisms etc.
The detail was completely overlooked.
She just didn't see the difference, and only with my prompting did she finally fall in and look shocked.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck etc. etc. ;-)

Oh. Mrs Stufer on warpath, just hung a ton of washing out as it's so hot, and some thundering blaggard has lit a garden fire upwind of ours :vb-brickwall:
There isn't a mgic bullet answer.
But here is the official line, for what it is worth.:rolleyes:

 
Today I have been investigating the extent of repairs required to the eaves fascias and soffits at the front of Wimblowdriver Towers. It has been over-clad with upvc stuff, over the original timber work which has some rot in it. Haven't yet uncovered the full extent, but I have learned what a screwdriver sounds like when it disappears down a drain pipe.
