General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Well, people are stupid! And it's people who are supposedly 'educated' who are stupid and they're those who are knackering things up good and proper!

Tomorrow, I'm taking all the tiles out of a bathroom. So, today I decided to call at B&M's in Ashton to get some blue 'rubble bags'.
I went straight to the 'hardware' section. Nothing there. So I asked a woman who was clearly a member of staff, "excuse me, do you stock blue rubble bags"?
She replied, "oooooooh, I don't think so. I've never seen them. Only,if we did, they'd be on D.I.Y. ".
"Thanks"! says me.
I go to D.I.Y. (now these sections are all marked with an overhead sign), and there's nothing there either.
Then, a lad walks up with a blue marbelette notebook and pen, looking important, and asked me what I'm looking for.
"Blue rubble bags, I've looked on 'hardware' and 'D.I.Y.' and you've got none."
"Oh., yes, we sell those, follow me" says he, and off we go.
Several aisles away, he points to a shelf full of 'blue rubble bags'. Great!

So, you're thinking, what's so special about that?

Well, the blue rubble bags weren't in the 'hardware section'. Neither were they in the 'D.I.Y. section'.

They were in the section signed as :-
"HEALTH AND BEAUTY / TOILETRIES / PAPER PRODUCTS".

So I said to him, "what the f* is rubble bags doing here, stocked with the shampoo, hairbrushes and toilet rolls"?
To which he replied, "hmm., but that's where they say we have to display them on the layout plan and we have to follow that".

What sort of idiots are we putting up with these days?
