Excuse me

So --the Brit has a slight problem with the wiring on his train layout and needed something to fix it....... I sent him down to the local hardware store to find it.

It's a great old place--older than old. I'm sure they don't know half of what's in there. Great tin ceilings, they sell ya however many nails/screws/bolts you actually need and pull them out of oak drawers built into the wall. It's an amazingly 'old, small town' kinda place.

He got a bit bucky about goin'.....seems he can spend a bunch of time just giving the locals a hard time in that little place..... And he didn't wanna spend time 'faffing about'. LOL (what a great term!) But off he went!

And when he got back home after his adventure I had to laugh.

I love that old fella at the hardware store. He makes me die....

"Oh? Why'szat?"

I went in and asked if they had crocodile clips.....and the old fella said 'nope.'. And JUST as I'm about to the door he says '.....but I do have alligator clips........that's what we call 'em here. Want them instead?'. What a smart arse.

<-- lost it laughing

Well.....



Gotta love when someone gets him before he gets them. LOL
