    ...I went shopping in Homebase today.


    No sane tradesman, or even a sane Dafty Diyer should ever purchase goods in Homebase.

    Their product range is poor, the quality shoddy and the prices astronomical.

    It just happened to be next door to where I was working. :)

    It won't happen again, I promise.

    they have a store 200yards from where I live. I seriously don't know how they keep the doors open, their prices are massive compared with B+Q/srewfix/ and wickes and they all have stores less than 2 miles away,

    Homebase work on British Rail principles;

    I too am a sinner...... I bought a 11" Immersion Heater on an Sunday morning last. Cost?, ahem, £39.99 AND the sealing washer was missing!

    What to do?, two spinster sisters caring for their incontinent father, could not wait until monday for the merchants to open.
