'Hello. Pinders.'
'Hello. Do you sell gold leaf?'
'I'll put you through.'
'Hello?'
'Do you sell gold leaf in booklets?'
'Hang on.' (music plays).
(Returns after 3 minutes) 'Yes we do, £8 a book'
'And do you sell gold transfer booklets?'
'Yes'.
'Oh good, I'll call down this morning, thank you.'

I decide to walk the 4 miles, to exercise my legs and help decay my lungs.

Hello. I've come for some gold leaf I called about this morning. (Woman lifts out box of what appears to be loose gold leaf).
'I'd like the transfer variety please'.
'You need glue with this'.
'Yes, you mean 'gold size' and I have some at home, but I want transfer gold leaf please. And I would also like to know what grade it is.'
'This is all we have'.
'But I was told on the phone an hour ago you have transfer.'
(She disappears for about TEN minutes, then returns)
'We only sell metal leaf, this is not gold.' (So it's imitation gold leaf).
'But I was told on the phone that you sell gold leaf and in transfer form.'
'We sell Letraset transfers'.
'Sorry?'
'If you want transfers, they are on that rack.'

'There's no wonder that internet retails is booming is there with service like this! I was specifically told that you sell gold leaf transfer booklets.' Thanks!'

Exits shop.

While I was in there I noticed clear plastic sleeves are 40p EACH! Can this be true? (Round the corner at Stationery Box on The Moor they are 99p for 25)
