Just popped into our local Homebase for a couple of run of the mill things. There does seem a lot more useful stuff around and less fluffy cushions (a lthough there are still some around). There seems a lot of tools branded Cr aftright and I wonder if these are the in house brand for the new owners. L ots of shelves and racks being emptied and cardboard boxes about as if a lo t of stuff is being changed. Other than that things were as usual, two peop le dealing with one customer, a line of waiting customers (yes there were p eople in there buying things not the usual desert) and no one would think o f opening another till!
