Homebase

you know where to buy such adaptors?

I did try online but at 49p each the order was so small that the guy decided it wasn't worth his while fulfilling it, didn't send it and refunded my money

I have failed to find a retail outlet that sells them, except at extortionate prices

I could have waited a couple of weeks for a chinese amazon seller, but I bought the B22->E14 adapter from a UK eBay seller, it arrived quickly.

Ive found homebase to be massively useful in the last few years in a way B&Q simply are not.

And the staff are happy too.

Yeah, they did look to be getting back into their stride, no aisles piled high with bunnings junk, who owns them now?

Sadly our local branch has closed - too many Xmas barbeques - so its about a 30 mile round trip now.

That's useful - I bought some from Ikea but they take 38mm shades. Bunch of

Private equity buyout I think.

...."Wesfarmers agreed to sell the business to restructuring firm Hilco for a nominal £1. This sale was completed on 11 June 2018, rebranded stores reverted to the Homebase brand soon after.

The company recorded sales figures of £1.49 billion for the financial year of 2013 to 2014, with an operating profit of £18.9 million for the year 2013 to 2014. On 14 August 2018, Hilco announced that it would close 42 stores and cut 1,500 jobs through a company voluntary arrangement, which was passed following a vote on 31 August 2018."

In short its still in turnround mode. Its odd really - my local has a huge tool section that homebase never had, and has lost the kitchen unit thing, but converseley a good stock of lampshades and so an and a surprsiningly good plant shop = and the plants turn over quicker than the local nursery so are fresher.

remember

this is Wodney I'm taking to
