B&Q best DIY retailer

[The Medway Handyman]

Don't recall them asking me :-)

Did they ask anyone here?

[ericp]

No.

I hate them.

[Dave Liquorice]

Not me and I wonder how they derived their 6,000 sample. Outside B&Q?

[Jules]

"B&Q is more highly regarded than any of its competitors" - I wonder who the competitors were and if they were matched by size and product range?

I get the impression you have to pay for the actual report, so bugger that (although hard to tell for sure - the research company seems to be split across two different domains, one of which is fubar at the mo)

[Peter Twydell]

They obviously didn't ask anybody who'd ever tried to get sensible information from their website.

[Rod]

But is anyone going to say that Focus are better?

[tim....]

There are sure to be some who will say that Homebase are, even if they are the more "soft furnishing" end of the market.

Focus have very good prices in bulk bags of certain plumbing fittings. apart from that and the occasional discount offer on self assembly wood furniture, they're mostly useless IME.

Presumably Wickes was defined as a builders merchant, for the purpose of the exercise....
