Re: Screwfix

Ah, B&Q with a bit of extra ££££ added.

I wanted something and the Screwfix a few miles away had it. So did the B&Q that I had to drive right past to get to Screwfix. Same thing but for 10% less. So I put up with the sheer delight of going to B&Q.

I'd expect that many B&Q sites will close in the next year or so as the Screwfix sites are much smaller AND hold a lot less stock. They are clearly moving towards a delivery only model.
