It\u2019s a Genoa door with side screens in Irish Oak and although it is yet another quite stunning example of Timber Composite Doors<\/a> range of superb composite front doors it is probably not the finest example of a door in the Universe we simply use this door to illustrate the absurdity of the new in vogue reporting term \u201cSo said person familiar with the matter\u201d <\/em>a phrase which now seems to be cropping up everywhere.<\/p>\n Once upon a time if a company statement was issued by a Chairman or Managing Director the reader could believe it had some credence as if they made statements that were blatantly wrong they could find themselves subject to the full force of the law.<\/p>\n Then came \u201ca company representative\u201d or\u201d a spokesperson\u201d as the voice of authority \u2013 except as they were not named it was somewhat harder to find them as accountable if they got it wrong, exaggerated or over or understated whatever their topic of expertise was meant to be.<\/p>\n Over the past twelve months we have slumped to a new low \u201ca person familiar with the matter\u201d has become the phrase of choice for any news related item that is released where the News Channel or the like did not wish to name the source of its information.<\/p>\n So what is \u201ca person familiar with the matter\u201d \u2013 in our ludicrous example above it could literally be anyone who knew what a door was and had an opinion that he wanted to share \u2013 if we can exercise this right to promote our doors the question has to be asked \u2013 can we believe anything where the source of the information wishes to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n Here at GFD HQ we do not really believe that any of our doors are the \u201cbest in the universe\u201d but they are really pretty good take our Timber Composite Doors<\/a> site with dozens of style options in Traditional and Contemporary patterns plus French doors and Stable Doors all available in a choice of nineteen external colours which can be matched with the same nineteen internal colours and just for good measure throw in a multitude of glazing and hardware options and maybe \u201c the person who is familiar with the matter\u201d may in this case be close to the truth in his assessment.<\/p>\n![\"Solidor](\"https:\/\/www.timbercompositedoors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/genoa.jpg\")
