My comments to the sales girl were trenchant. So, I feel your pain, I do.

Sorry about the 'trenchant' comment. It was meant kindly. Could I just point out that the dictionary definition of 'trenchant' does offer some other, more positive meanings (which is what I intended) besides the less flattering ones you mention. Here we go: Trenchant: 1. incisive or keen, as language or a person; caustic; cutting: trenchant wit. 2. vigorous; effective; energetic: a trenchant policy of political reform. 3. clearly or sharply defined; clear-cut; distinct. Those are good things, aren't they? Oh, dear. Sorry about the ‘trenchant’ comment. It was meant kindly.
