*A lovely lady enquired about rope and chain. She was interested in their strength and how rough they would be. A little more chatting and she said she was a bondage mistress.

Earl suggested she may cover the chain with clear vinyl tube, the rope with Dri Lube and wear latex disposable gloves.

* Had an 80s plus lady wanting to buy a 9 ¼ angle grinder. After some conversation and persuasion had to convince her that trimming her budgies nails could be done in a safer way.

Earl suggested she buy secateurs or even use nail clippers.
