You might like this, it can be modified to suit...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I dreamed that Doctor Drivel died and unfortunately went to Hell. It was as awful as he expected, so after a week he asked the devil if it was possible to get out.
The only way out apparently, was to satisfy the ugliest woman ever created.
She was 23 stone, covered in warts, hairy in all the wrong places and had appalling B.O.
Doctor Drivel tried to make love to this hideous creature in his desperation to escape. On the fourth try he succeeded in satisfying her.
As he left the room, trying not to retch, he noticed another bedroom door slightly ajar. Looking in he saw Dennis making love to a stunning 36-22-36 eighteen-year-old blue eyed blonde.
He rushed up to the devil and complained about this unfair treatment. The devil stopped him and said, "You don't understand. Women want to get out as well you know!"

It would never take Drivel four tries. He's an expert at servicing boilers.

The first things you learn in a foreign country are food and drink, parts of the body and swear words. But not necessarily in that order.

I'm not surprised if they buy their bricks from wankers.
I don't know why the Poles are opening Polish delicatessens. Polish builders' merchants would appear to offer better opportunities for vertical integration.

Like the sentiments.
But are there any independent BMs left these days? I'd hazard a guess that it would not be viable to run just one.
Starting a whole chain sounds a bit of a tall order.

Matthew Charlton in Hexham. There is another yard near Charlton Village near Penrith, can't remember the name. Dove in Hexham (though that could be considered a small chain as they have a handful of depots). Althams in Penrith. Not sure they use that name anymore as there was some form of take over a few years back, they weren't taken over by Wickes/B&Q etc though. Penrith Building Supplies, in Penrith...

OK folks! The only independent one near us I can think of that was taken over a few years ago (has become a Buildbase). The rest are small or large chains (e.g. Jewsons * 2, Grant & Stone - small chain). We do have one that specialises in fencing, blocks, sand, etc.

Our local SELCO is more-or-less that :-)
