Mrs. Harris: Morning, Jack.
Phillips: Morning, Mrs. Harris.
Mrs. Harris: I need to pick up some more of that dishwashing liquid, Scummo.
Phillips: Sorry, we discontinued that.
Mrs. Harris: What?? Why??
Phillips: No one bought it.
Mrs. Harris: I bought it!
Phillips: I couldn't stock it just for you.
Mrs. Harris: You know, this place has gone downhill since you took over. When your father ran this place it was in tip-top shape. He never would've done this to me. The customer was always right with him. Now it's a shambles!

    Haha! I had that problem with a particular Nestlé instant coffee variant Blend 37 when the shops no longer stocked it. Now I buy it in bulk online... still amazed they’re producing it... but maybe it still sells well in other markets (because it’s the best!😊)

    Nice one, Christopher! Reminds me of another one, Sunlight Soap!

    I remember Sunlight Soap... a Lever (now Unilever) product. In fact in NW England, just south of Liverpool, there is a whole town called Port Sunlight (philanthropically built by Lord Leverhulme for his workers).

    Thanks for the bits, Neville! I wouldn't have ventured this far
