Yup, know the feeling. I have two pairs of M/S trousers, perfectly
servicable and bought five years ago. They both have an extra zip pocket
inside the main pocket. I like this a lot for safety, now, can I get
anything like that now, Of course not. Oh, nobody does those any more and
they try to sell you those horrible things with zips all over them instead.

I walked into the B+Q at Hanley. looking for a simple pouch -or maybe to
buy a cheap belt and pouch:

Where will I find the pouches?

What pouches

Nail pouches or thing like that

We don't sell pouches

Tool belt, then

No, we don't sell anything like that.

I wondered around the store thinking "*ing idiot!"

Then I went to Wickes' feeling a stupid idiot.
And Wickes' didn't have one either. By this time Tool Station had closed
so I went home wondering "Did they expect me to buy a 50 quid pair of
trousers with suitable pockets?" becasue that's all both stores had. I'm a
silly fool not a stupid one.

Come March, when I won't need one, every garden centre/DIY shop will be
flooded with them. Aja caramba.
