At the weekend I popped into the local Homebase and picked up a simple Vitrex respirator - cost 15 quid. They didn't have any spare filters on sale but I thought what the heck, I'll get some from Screwfix or another online source.
Ha-ha.
None to be found online anywhere. So I wrote a polite email to Homebase central advising of the problem and asking what they could do to help. Herewith their reply:
....BEGIN REPLY.... Dear DIYer, Thank you for your email.

Kindest Regards, John Customer Service Team ....END REPLY....
