The Homebase Incident

I was about to leave my local hardware outlet when I was approached by the commision-only salesman who optomistically sits by the exit attempting to sell doors (or windows?).

"Excuse me sir?" he asked "Are you trade?"

I mean REALLY!

Naturally, I took immediate umbrage and huffed at him, before clutching my all purpose mortar and storming out.

That's not the sort of thing one expects at Homebase: at B&Q maybe, but not Homebase.
