It just struck me (like a bolt of lightening, some might say) before I began my review as to why…read morethis place is named so...Hardys Hardware. Excellent. Aside from the innovative name, Hardys is a pretty darn good wee shop. The fact that it's slightly more than a hardware store made me feel slightly more at ease (you may recall my previous review [singular] of a hardware store, and how I felt completely out of place), but I have to say that it was also the accompaniment of my dad that made the whole experience generally nicer. Thanks Daddy. Back to the vast range of stock though. Yes, it's got the wood, tools, gadgets and DIY stuff, but there's a huge variety of other stuff too. There's toiletries, household cleaners, pet goods, home decor...even confectionery! I got lost in the toiletry section while my dad looked for some man thingy. Or something like that. It's definitely the extensive assortment of goods that makes Hardys that little bit special. Hardys and Other Items You May Find Yourself Needing doesn't have quite the same ring though...

The man who works there, Michael, is very pleasant and helpful and full of questions about who you are and what you're up too. He is always trying to pull a joke with you and isn't pushy or anything. Last time I was in I needed some basic carpet for my campervan floor. We eventually settled on a piece of carpet and a price but when he saw that I was paying with the contents of my moneybox (times are hard!) he knocked more money off and happily joked by asking if I had made the money singing in the street and tried to wind me up about it - he's a funny guy and easy to deal with. There is also a funny little dog in the shop who wants cuddles all the time and will stand on its back legs and do a bit of a dance if you sing to it - I always leave wanting to take him home. There is a vast stock with great prices and sales on off cuts and older stock. The staff members are friendly and approachable. Well worth a visit for that personal service that can be lost in the bigger carpet retailers.
