I went to my local Homebase yesterday. All over the store where there were gaps, they had notices saying TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK BUT DON'T WORRY - MORE ON IT'S WAY. I had to be forcibly restrained from asking to see the manager!

YOU should have. What gets me too is the sign, '10 items or less' It should be, '10 items or fewer' For crying out loud what's wrong with these people.

Either undereducated or over opinionated - that is what is wrong with most people.

I must admit...I take no notice of signs like that....

Lemoneye, do you mean that most people have those faults or do you mean of those that have faults, their faults are under education and over opinionation?

Feel free to interpret in any way you see fit - as I know you will...
