When I was a young kid there used to be an advert on TV for Barrett Houses and the man would always say "The nation's second biggest house builder!". Naturally I was 110% convinced that our local house builder was THE biggest in the land. It was years later that I realised he was just a small builder who built just a few houses a year in our town.
