Take note this is a jewish run famliy buisness...

I have just been into a loacal wallpaper shop by me, anyway i walks in and looks at the two different brands of 1700 grades of wallpaper so the youg bloke wanders over and I'm asking him the prices...brand (a) is

2.99GBP,brand (b) is 2.25GBP however brand (a)feels thicker and heavier to the touch,so I said to him ok I'll come back in 15 or 20 minutes as I have to go further up the road for some groceries.

Calls back into shop and picks up grade(b)1700, takes them to the till and the old bloke rings up 5.70GBP heh! I says these are 2.25BGP..nope he says they are 2.85GBP...I says that lad there told me they where 2.25GBP, so I said forget it,gimme 2 rolls of 2.99GBP same grade...oh he says they're

3.25GBP...fuckit I says to him and walks out a everso slighty miffed.

Have you ever wanted to walk into a secluded area and wanted to yell at the top of you're voice. :-)

I fail to see the connection between your experience and the fact it is a "jewish run family business" - perhaps you would explain.

It was some attempt at a racist joke which wasn't very funny. Probably a complete lie too. At least he didn't say " a mate of mine" at the start. It must have been a small project for just two rolls of wallpaper.

[The3rd Earl Of Derby]

Are you serious?

If I wanted to tell a joke I'd put you in the frame. I kid you not, twas fact not fiction. Ceiling as a matter of fact,it will take two rolls to do a Victorian terraced living room.

He was backing his school books

Which is also owned by Jews BTW.

Eh?

[Mike Halmarack]

Boncentration Quamp, gedit?

[dennis]

How was it racist? Jewish people are not a different race to any other.

[Phil L]

It used to be owned by them before Kingfisher bought it.

Dear moderator,

I wish to lodge a formal complaint about the inclusion of this message on uk.d-i-y - for the reason TerryW / Terence points out.

I have just finished my own DIY for today and come inside for a little relaxation - only to be confronted by this most 'unfortunate outburst'.

This was clearly intended to cause offence - and one imagines must have done so, to Jews and non-Jews alike, in an oafish and cowardly manner.

Scrutiny and moderation by others, of this contributor's messages would be appreciated in future, before posting.

Thanks,

Keith

Isn't Kingfisher a public company?

[Doctor Drivel]

Piss off you stupid bastard!!! I can't stand politically correct crap.

Dear Keith

Have you ANY idea how Usenet works? Obviously not.

There *is* no moderator.

[Keith (Dorset)]

Do all DIY wankers have silly names?

Or is it just Derby and Drivel?

;-)

[Keith (Dorset)]

Bob,

No, as you suspect - but it doesn't change my message.

Cheers,

Keith

An unnecessary & distasteful reference, imho.

[Nigel Molesworth]

I do now.
