Is this really Gareth?

[klondike]

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 ?

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.

Ah, is this why you take it? 

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

I am noted for my consideration for others..,

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

[klondike]

What I thought too. Hence the title.

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

[klondike]

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..
