Since you work in a B&Q superstore, would you know if they intend to stock
blades for the Bosch PMF 180 multi tool?

I saw the tool on sale in the Gillingham superstore, but no blades and
nobody knew nuffin.

I can buy them on line at RAI, but they are a PITA to deal with, website is
a nightmare, no e commerce, they call you to get card details & it takes 5+
days for the goods to arrive.

I thought it was "nuffink" in Kent, with "nuffin" being more of an
Essex thing......

Hi there Dave,

We had spare blades in stock when they introduced it to our store. Not
sure how your local branch is laid out but where they display the
blades for the jigsaws and power saws is where we put our blades. The
sanding triangles should be universal with most Bosch sanders. If they
haven't got them in stock right now they should be getting them in
future. When I next go in, I'll get the item codes for you to wave at
the BnQ staff.

That's only in builders and plumbers merchants. Everybody is called
"mate" in those places, even in the third person.

Interesting. Darn sarf, being called 'Pal' means an altercation is likely.

Whoops! I meant 1960's. Hastings was 14 October 1066 anyway. And it was
at Senlac Hill not Hastings.

Most people have heard of The Magic Circle in London, but there are magic
clubs all over the country. Some call themselves 'Magic Circles', like the
Leicester Magic Circle, others use different titles like the Medway Magical
Society, The Chester Guild of Magicians, Farnborough Association of
Magicians etc.

The London Magic Circle is simply the oldest and London based, other than
that its just another club really. The HQ is a spectacular building
