On Friday I popped into the Spalding branch to look at the sandpapers. I was especially looking for aluminium oxide sheets, but not in assorted packs (the only ones I've found). The prices were off the wall! The store had a dismal air about it, as if it realised the forces of doom were upon it.
I won't be going back, not until a change of ownership. Sad, because I bought a lot of DIY stuff from Payless in the 1980s.
