Have to be careful now I'm on a pension!

Aaaaaaaaargh!!!
No wonder pensioners are so bloody stroppy!
I went to Screwfix (via the recycling centre, where I find that our marvelous local council hasn't emptied the containers since 1986 so the whole area is awash with wet newspaper and general rubbish, haunted by packs of wild dogs, feral cats and nenaderthals) to be told that they dan't have what I want in stock, but they can get it for me for tomorrow afternoon. I CAN ORDER IT ON THE WEBSITE IF I WANT IT TOMORROW!!! I don't have to drive an 8 mile round trip!
So I went to B&Q. Now to be fair, I despise B&Q and our local one has some of the most unpleasant staff you have ever met. They didn't have any predator saws, just Stanley and Irwin. Great. So I bought one, and then went to look for saw horses. Nope, none. I asked one of the people in orange pinnies (there were 2 nearby having a chat) and got told that they don't sell benches. Yes, but I wanted saw horses. Not what he showed me - a sort of transformers workmate that turns into a sack barrow. I asked how come they don't sell saw horses, given that they sell saws and wood. He looked at me slack jawed and said 'clever, isn't it?'.
As my wife said when I recounted this to her - why didn't you go to Melvyn's - the local ironmonger. Why didn't I?
Or better still, why didn't you just make a pair? :shock: Four legs, top rail and two bits of ply/2 x 1/whatever as braces...... I've even knocked them up from a scaffold board in the past when we've had nothing else suitable.Smudger":3dyhzbhs said:As my wife said when I recounted this to her - why didn't you go to Melvyn's - the local ironmonger.
