FFS. I find a timber yard within reasonable traveling distance that has the skirting/architrave I want in wood (i'm oiling it, not painting). And they cut. Bold claims on their website about how well they store their wood and how much of it they have. So I get on their website to order for collection, as i'm adding pieces the cart is just totaling them up in length so i'm plainly going to get it in lengths that won't go in the car. So I phone them, they do cut but only on Saturday. I rock up with my saw, i'm passed from pillar to post because nobody has heard of lamb's tongue skirting, eventually find it, they've a handful of tatty/dirty lengths no two even similar in colour. Total waste of time.
This is why painted torus is so fekking popular then I take it?
Recently I wanted a plain internal door. Phoned a place and was told they always have them in stock. Got there, told them what I wanted, someone spoke into a radio and someone else brought me a door. Great I said and gave it my son to put on the car roof. The guy was looking at us like we'd gone off so I asked if he was OK. Is that the door you want?, he asked. If it's x by y then yes, I said. I don't know he said, I was just showing you a door, and went for a tape, it wasn't the size I wanted and they didn't have that size and had no idea when they might. Total waste of time.
I could go on, what is wrong with these places?
