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.

Do you have a Screwfix near you?

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.

Explains a lot.
£20 for a pair of small pockets that don't quite allow you to grab hold of anything inside them and even smaller ones on the outside of those; all of which would strain under the ample girth of any self respecting tradesman..

But even the skinny, long time unrespectable, **** artist would manage to break the flimsy polythene clip in no time.
The boy I spoke to was wearing one of those B+Q orange aprons, with decent enough pockets on. Where can I get an old fashioned pinafore?

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 :-)

I have a pre-war treadle machine that will sew anything. Even jeans.
SWMBO hates sewing, but I learned so I could mend sails.
