At The Hardware Store

[Chipchopper]

I was in an old fashioned type hardware store, the kind that sells fork 'andles and stuff.
I asked the man behind the counter, if he had any sand paper.
He said: "might have might not, have you tried looking on the shelves ?".

I must say, I found his attitude very abrasive

[Arrods]

He must have rubbed him up the wrong way. :-)

[retrocop]

Don’t go there again. I prefer Emery’s.

[Old_Geezer]

Such a rough attitude will wear down goodwill.

[aelmpvw]

just buy some if only to smooth things over

[Patsy33]

Bleeding ' eck!

[sanmac]

Should have gone to the movie store and bought true grit.

[retrocop]

The shopkeeper was plane enough.

[Chipchopper]

I had to wait for him to finish his rasp-berry yogurt!

[Canary42]

He just wanted to lead you on emery dance !

[Arksided]

'You've got to take the rough with the smooth'

[Bazile]

You seem to be quite enamoured with him
Was he rough and ready ?

[Chipchopper]

I was a bit suspicious of him when I saw he was wearing elasticated braces with measurements on them.
