    How about replying thus, while handing over two books with decorative covers:

    “How about two of these lovely illustrations each of which contain inside a few pages of description to enlighten you.”

    Else tell them to ******* and stop wasting your time! You guys clearly live in a part of Edinburgh full of wind-up merchants!

    Sold him some Gruffalo snap cards. I think we live in the area of Edinburgh where people have high expectations, shall we say! Most of our customers are lovely, in fairness, but they are boring to blog about.

    I’d say if she thinks she’s got too many, she doesn’t have enough.

    It’s probably a good thing you didn’t ask yourself “what would Bernard say?”

    Just found your blog – wonderful!
