Juvenile things that make you snigger (Vol. 3)
Discussion
So this genuinely happened today near Leeds (by me, Vaud, not a copy/paste or AI)
I went into Screwfix to buy an electric collated screwdriver, which basically screws things in to the floor really, really quickly, and has a belt of screws attached to it.
I have 2000 screws to do so it is worth it. The rental places said (surprisingly honestly) that theirs suck and they were phasing them out - and that buying one, using it for 10 days and then selling it for 50% would be cheaper and more reliable.
Anyhow, I went up to the desk, and asked the assistant, if they had any stock.
They kept typing in what I'd said.
It brought up no results, which is very confusing.
They tried again and again.
I leaned over the counter. "Mind if I take a look?"
So they showed me the ordering screen.
Until it turned out they didn't know how to spell screw.
They were missing out the W. So they were searching for a scredriver (their POS search engine isn't very smart to be fair)
Naturally, once corrected, we found what we needed.
It turns out that even when you work at a place called Screwfix, the letter W can be elusive...

Of the few foreign languages that I speak, they all refer to the letter W as a 'double V'
Are we the only language that calls it a 'Double U' ?
Erm, its complicated and not for this thread.Are we the only language that calls it a 'Double U' ?
Ask your exact question of Google and it will give you the start of a rabbit hole.
Anyhow, ‘they was missing’? Surely ‘they were missing’?
While we are pinching jokes this one is courtesy of MBUK forum.
An 80 year old lady was marrying for the 4th time and a local newspaper reporter asked her about her first three husbands and what they did for a living.
"Well she said "the first one was to a banker, the second one to a circus ringmaster, the third one to a priest and now I am 80 to an undertaker"
The headline the next morning read,
One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and four to go.
