Screw fix is the same company as B&Q only the prices are a bit more realistic!

I knew that fact but had forgotten it.

Screwfix are quite good but they are not cheaper on a lot of stuff. If you can wait a few days for delivery, trawling the internet can be productive and of course, there's EBAY.

Ahfuckinghem. I gave that to you in good faith that it would be used to scare salesmen and old people away from your house.

You have the quotes mixed up, tsk tsk, but we get the gist of it.

Basically you are fucking helpless to do anything about it.

I fucking hope.......

They pay peanuts and employ supermarket mongs as managers also.

There is no escaping the evil empire of mongdom.

Stick with merchants, of the lot you have mentioned Plumb Center and all the other Wolseley brands tend to be the best big chain that covers all the bases, if they stock it or sell it in another part of the company you can order it through almost any branch that deals in timber, civils, plumbing etc etc, they can get you bathroom kit as well even if it's not their specialty at that branch.

B&Q skirting warps as it's shit white wood and not redwood, you could turn it a dozen times a day in the rack and it will still look like Joey Deacon stood to attention.

For kitchens Wickes and Magnet tend to be a winner as they stock the same kit, the parent company of Magnet supplies Wickes you see.

If you want tools go through Toolbank/Clemson, they supply almost everyone and you can get hold of most stuff on the next day delivery.

To be fair my theory was there, but I'm about 4 years out of date with DIY.

Warehouse Direct similar to screwfix, but smaller pack sizes available for nuts, bolts, screws etc

Can't hold a candle to Morrisons though...

For your other supplies use a builders merchant. If you live in a big enough town/city you can go more specific for your supplies to make it cheaper.

Plumb centre for your plumbing supplies,
Howdens for your kitchen units and joinery requirements.
Timber merchants for your specific timber needs - these especially save you a fortune and time. Nothing more annoying than needing 9ft of skirting and B&Q only sell it in 12ft lengths, better yet is when you get the fucker home and find its warped because B&Q don't look after its stock very well.

Unfortunately Screwfix were taken over by B&Q so expect their standards to drop quite soon.
