I wish we still had non-mega #hardware stores around here but if we do, I am unaware of them. ☹️

A quasi-related story for you: decades ago, our first (IIRC) big box hardware store dropped down into #Edmonton (on St Albert Trail). It was called Eagle Hardware.

Now I don't know the *actual* reason they failed so quickly, but I can tell you that it was blatantly obvious they'd done zero research on Canadian, and also specifically Albertan, product requirements.

Zero #Robertson screws or screwbits. 😳
At least one HUGE aisle full of #rat traps. 🙄

Both these points remain hilarious to me.

The staff were, however, polite and *attempted* to be helpful, which is not always the default today in other big box stores.

UK’s next ambassador to Japan may be called to give evidence in Mandelson inquiry | Politics | The Guardian

Robbins and Collard said they had not read Mandelson’s vetting summary document produced by United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV), relying instead on verbal briefings about its contents. Collard’s evidence highlighted Robertson’s role in the decision.

Her appearance before the committee could help resolve some unanswered questions, as MPs struggle to piece together events, which have been hampered by lack of any written records or audit-trails recording the Foreign Office’s decision making in relation to Mandelson’s vetting.
