Since when did a shop/retailer/importer have to have ANY knowldege of its products ?

The MANUFACTURERS however, ALL call a spade a spade

...and a bullet a bullet

The SIERRA Logo:

Their tag-line (not that easy to see as it is white lettering on this light background) reads "THE BULLETSMITHS"
Anyone think they need to correct this mistake & call themselves "HEAD"SMITHS?

WHERE the confusion arises over heads being called bullets?
Possibly this...as these pointy things were in use on good old clothe yard shafts for several generations before bang-sticks came onto the scene

I could be pedantic and say this also applies to those who use the term 'toy' and 'bangstick' for their firearms, it is not so different to referring to bullets as 'heads' and at the end of the day we know exactly what the person means even if we do not personally agree with the term.

Surely that's a small flat-profile shovel next to the fork...

Whatever you call it it is still a sh!te piece of digging equipment.

I remember and have examples of when Spear and Jackson meant good quality tools, no longer.
