Phoned Argyle Street HMV yesterday,here's a rough script of the conversation I had with the wee ned that was on brain duty yesterday....
'How ye doin',HMV Argyull streeit'
'Hi can you check if you have the following titles in stock?'
'Aye man,whit 'r' ye lookin fur?'
'Quatermass and the Pit Blu Ray'
'Whit?'
(Repeats)
'Gonnae spell that furst wan againe?'
'Q-U-A-T-E-R-M-A-S-S-'
'Aw-right-ah think we've goat it-Ah'll just run up the stares an' check-an eed tae pit ye oan haud'
'Fine'
(The BD and DVD Dept is already downstairs)
Five minutes later
'Ah'v no goat it man,enyhin else?'
'Cannibal Holocaust on DVD?'
'How de ye spell Cannibul againe mate?'
'C-A-N-N-I-B-A-L-'
'Aye-goat it-Blu ray'

Click click click
'Aye Cannibul Apocalips-goat it.'
'No,Holocaust'
Click click
'Naw man,am watin' oan six cummin in pal'
'Enyhin' else?'
'No,no thanks.'
After deciding to leave it ten minutes until Plunge Mcnuggett goes for his lunch,I phone back......
'Awright-HMV Argyill Street'
JESUS!
'Can you check the following title on DVD please?'
'You phone ten minutes ago?'
'That's right.Can you check something else for me?'
'NAE problemo man!'
'House On The Edge of The Park-Got to be on the Shameless label-yellow cover and box,it should be in the horror section.'
'Ahll goan check the shelf bud.'
'Aye goat it here man-ye wahnt me tae pit it behin' the coontur?'
'Yep-someone will be in for it shortly,the name's--------'
'Nae bother pal.'
One of my warehouse guys goes in the van to pick it up,half an hour later he returns,and I open the bag to find the BEYOND TERROR disc of HOTEOTP!
So I return to the city centre just after 4pm-where I find the Shameless House AND their Cannibal Holocaust disc on the shelves.....
So whoever you are Plunge,I'd just like to thank you-**** you very much.
