I've seen what they've described there. It was called:

Homebase.

Erk.

Much better for vinyl floor tiles than B&Q

You'll have to start wearing a pink dress now when you go to pick your trade supplies. It'll suit you a treat!

BTW, when did you become an American citizen? Or did you just miss the u out of neighbourhood?

's'aright - we have Screwfix and Toolsatan to retreat to. The T Wells Toolsatan has a coffee machine.

The idiot is back I see.

Did he ever go away? Or did you turn on the cyclists instead?

Talking of idiots - guess who put 29/02/2013 on an NICEIC certificate this week?

Can't imagine Dave missing u from any neighbourhood.

Our local TLC has a *free* coffee machine ;-)

CEF provides a toaster, loaf and butter.

The toolsatan one is free here.

Really? I haven't been in my local CEF for a year or more, but all they had in the way of "support services" was a coffee chamine.

Radiospares coffee was a bit better.

"The store will also host new Kids Can Do It workshops at the weekend, cost ing £5 and run by B&Q DIY experts."

Sounds like a self contradiction. Cue mass complaints about kids wrecking h ouses.

It looked like a bit of local initiative, rather than something I'd expect all branches to have. It'll only cost them a few quid and might encourage the sparkies to prefer them for their early morning orders, or tend not to get pissed-off and go elsewhere when there's a queueue.

How did you get coffeee out of a CHA Mine?

My local wholesaler gives away vouchers for use in the sandwich shop across the road. The tea and coffee in the wholesalers is free:-)

That's generous. I could do with a new coffee machine.

Shall I see what happens if I pick it up and ask them to hold the door open next time I am there?
