thornbury hardware shop

'I need castors for my bed.'

'How many?'

'I dunno.'

'Well, a bed you buy in the shop'd have four castors. How much weight you putting on it?'

'Not much, but I feel like it needs more than four.'

'Well, four should hold a couple of people at a hundred or so kilos, give or take. If you're gonna have more than two people in your bed who weigh more than that, I'd say you'd be in trouble.'

'Reckon you'd have more to worry about than the castors ... I'll take nine.'
