My mum worked in a local hardware store before I was born. Even when I was a teenager, she was bumping into people she knew from her time there; regular customers who would sometimes pop in for one specific bolt, a couple of sheets of sandpaper, or an assortment of O-rings. While this is no means a new statement, every so often I am reminded that we have just lost so much as a society.

@coldkennels if you're ever in London, Clerkenwell Screws has you covered. They have all of them I think. Certainly any oddballs I've ever thrown at them

@coldkennels I'm glad we got Hornbach. They sell screws, bolts and other hardware by weight or number (depends on the product). They have everything for most jobs in or around the house.

@coldkennels but the cost is the same for a box of them as it would have been for 2 in the "proper" store.
