Pitterful

Welcome to Malvern and Gordon Smith's: the place if you need a cherry-stone-removing tool.  Indeed, a range of cherry-stone-removing tools, not to mention strawberry-top cutter-off'ers.

Brings back happy memories of my schoolday's Saturday job in a similar shop, selling nails by the ounce or Pearl 75w, Large Edison Screw, Rough Service lightbulbs.  Boy, did the latter take some finding in the storerooms.

More concerning, however, was that the visible staff today outnumbered the customers by 3:1.

I bought a pair of sausage-turning ice-cube tongs.
