   Yeah well, you didn't communicate that in your original post   
   did you. You implied the salesgirl was 'dim-witted' because   
   she couldn't find what you wanted, yet it wouldn't have been   
   her that made the mistake of allowing an unavailable product   
   to be displayed on the shelves.   
      
   Was this Woolies in Bolton by any chance?   
   I've always found the staff in there to be very pleasant.

   Oh dear, we are a little tetchy this evening aren't we Gavin?   
   Just like the old days!   
      
   Actually, I didn't even know what The Bodysnatchers Collection was,   
   had to Google it. Thought it was some kind of horror thing you were   
   after. Don't think of my comment as a 'petty crticism' as if I have nothing   
   better to do than seek out fault with your posts, think of it as merely   
   that I happenned to disagree with you, given the information you originally   
   gave regarding your encounter with the salesgirl.

   That's your excuse for everything isn't it, being dead!   
      
   As this is a proper ATVRD post, this deserves the ressurection of my sig. :)
