Here is a not very good pic I took in my local hardware store a couple of days ago. This is one corner of the shop, and basically we have 3 layers of sliding shelves with storage bins. If you can't find the nut or bolt or washer or whatever you want, then it doesn't exist...

If you take a single or maybe 2 items to the till they just wave you goodbye. If you dump a handful on the scale they say €1?...
No Wagos though!

Where is that??

That's worth a trip over to weegie-land. ( I assume somewhere in Glasgow from your profile)

I could spend hours there - almost better than shoe shopping!!
 
We have a hardware store that used to be a Haberdashery, each drawer has the item inside screwed to the front, not purpose made like the above, but innovative just the same.

Man equivalent is tool shopping.
 
@Julie, sadly not in Glasgow...it's in Spain?
 
However, they have great shoe shops here too!
 
Back up in aviemore for the end of the holidays, and I had to take a photo of an electrical substation…. (To the horror of my wife and kids)

Just thinking of the headline if there was an accident……

“SSE Worker seriously injured by Santa Claus!”

Brill. Why is it called that?

And don't say because it's a substation ?
 
i don't Tundrastrand the post.
 
It's named after the film that was shot there.








(It isn't I am just lying)

Yes, for not being allowed to be one of his reindeer!

He was very jealous of Donner and Blitzen who were there right from the start not added as an afterthought
 
I believe the big hotel in aviemore used to have a “Santa claus land” on its site… this substation may have been installed for that purpose years ago.
Now it’s on a retail centre car park.

But it says Santa Clause...is that the get-out clause? Or just another example of poor grammar/spelling...

That's why I mentioned the film.

That's spelt as clause - the premise of the film...

But I strongly suspect you are correct, poor grandma and spellink
 
By putting a like to the above, we are showing our age!
I have not seen any wombaling free for years.
