Screwfix much cheaper than Avenue Supplies

[david lang]

I reckon Screwfix might be much cheaper than Avenue Supplies - does anyone know?

[Bob Eager]

Well, at least Screwfix are well known, which is more than can be said for Avenue Supplies...

[Set Square]

Dunno - but at least SF seem to manage to sell their stuff without filching all our words of wisdom from uk.d-i-y!

[Rob Morley]

You mean

? I just had a look at Avenue's tools and mostly they sell Blackspur - has anyone ever had a positive experience with these horrid nasty cheap crap tools?

[Grunff]

Yes, they are significantly cheaper. As are

's more, a bloke down the pub told me that his cousin found out that Avenue Supplies are into devil worship and goat sacrifice.

[:::Jerry::::]

Well, that has just increased their sales from a certain sector of society!...

I bet all this thread, and the other one that started this subject, is a widening of the belief among the average 'web user' that Usenet is just full of computer nerds....

Blackspur tools are a pound in my local pound shop.

I woudln't regard them as the quality end of the market to be honest. In fact markets are usually where they're sold.
