So we've got the biggest whiteboard in the catalogue. What next? Well it goes on the wall doesn't it?

No.

Seth drills the holes, puts in the plugs and then gets told that the holes are in the wrong place. The whiteboard needs to be exactly centrally-placed on the wall.

"The squares aren't big enough," says Himself.

I suggest replacing the whiteboard with a sheet of stretch rubber.
