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.


This is a DIY group.
Get your wife to make one.
Mine makes all that sort of stuff.


Quite. Mine took me a quarter of an hour with some tough cloth, a piece
of rope for a belt, and a sewing machine. Contrary to popular opinion,
it is possible for a bloke to operate one of those, but if we continue
to play stupid, the Ladies (bless 'em) will continue to do it for us :-)
