The Village Hardware shop

Tony was re-hanging a door after decorating when he found that he needed a new hinge, so he sent his wife Alice to get one from the local village hardware shop.

While waiting for Roy the manager of the shop to finish serving a customer, Alice saw a beautiful teapot on a top shelf.

"How much for the teapot?" she asked Roy when he had finished serving,

"That's a very rare, old Doulton Teapot, and it is priced at £250"

"Oh dear. that is a lot of money!" Mary exclaimed, then proceeded to describe the hinge that Tony had sent her to buy. Roy went into the back to find a hinge that would be suitable.

From the back room Roy shouted, "Alice, do you wanna screw for that hinge?"

Alice replied, "No, but I will for the teapot."
