You bought silicon sealant at Wilkinsons ?

I tell you what; I was disgusted with the price of silicon sealant at
Homebase+Q (£3.99) so I tried some stuff from the pound shop. "How bad
could it be?" I thought.

Well, it was disgusting.

It stank.

It stuck to everything including anything you used to tweak it with
afterwards. It's hard to describe but it was like it was too sticky
and viscous. Imagine you drag your finger along a bit of it smeared on
a surface. The normal stuff would spread out and leave a thin film.
This would roll up and make a disgraceful discoloured mess. This made
it very hard to apply neatly.

It wasn't water soluble so it messed up any cloths you used to wipe
any excess and it made my usual trick of finishing it off with a damp
rag impossible.

All in all it was ****e and I reluctantly went back to B+Q for a good
wallet spanking.

How was the Wilkinsons stuff ?

Are you really that thick? Or is this a spoof? It's very funny, I hope
it's true..
