Is this really Gareth?

I bought some charcoal tablets off eBay. I used the same seller I did last time and as they only sent one tub instead of two then and I had to email them I just ordered one this time. Free post and no discount for two so I thought sod 'em.

Post arrived and the packing slip has a stick on picture of Gareth. I'm pretty much certain it didn't last time. So have they started that because of multiple screw ups. Do you think Gareth is getting on a bit to be packing for an eBay shop?

Can't you get them at B & Q ?  :smiley:

Theirs are a bit hard to swallow. Not been in a B&Q in ages as we have both a Screwfix and Toolstation nearby and their stuff costs a lot less. I think one of them is part of the same group which is odd.

Screwfix & B&Q are owned by the same parent company.

I don't like swallowing tablets so I chew them first.

Gareth whom?
I don't know. It was just a sticker on the packing note. Something I have never seen before. I was intrigued as the picture seems to show a pensioner.

I suspect it is a bit like the QC sticker you see on cheap Chinese rubbish or used cars.

I doubt you'd want to chew B&Q charcoal and swallowing it would be out of the question.  :smiley:

Ah, is this why you take it?  :grin:

Activated charcoal is also very effective at absorbing gases, which can help reduce flatulence.

I am noted for my consideration for others..,

-Oy-

Gareth looks very much like a standard shiny white toothed Shutterstock model.

What I thought too. Hence the title.

If I remember rightly wasn't it B&Q that said
'Ask Dave'.  ?

They used to have greeters but I thought it was Ask Tom in the adverts. They were not overly reliable.

Scrumpy

That's right.. Of course it was Tom..
It was Dave with the motor..
