Wickes

[chirpychippy]

I have come to the despairing conclusion that Wickes is a training centre for wannabe kitchen designers that haven't got a clue, once their clueless training is complete they move between other sheds cocking up designs and when the siht hits the fan they refer to the disclaimer at the bottom of the pointless plan.

I always find Wickes good entertainment. Whenever I'm in one, I always get a good laugh at the price of the plumbing fittings.

HOW MUCH???

I went into my local wickes a couple of weeks ago to find that all the Imperial screws were down from £5 to £1 per box. I spent £70 on screws, the cashier couldn't believe how many screws I was buying, I went back last week to find they were back to £5 per box.

Good to see you screwed Wickes. It's usually the other way around.

Block & Quayle

After the founders Richard Block and David Quayle.

Their first store was called Block & Quayle when it first opened but soon abbreviated to B&Q.

Most certainly is at times!!

To be honest though I wondered this many moons ago. Remembered it was founders names, just couldn't remember them.

Another good friend of mine is Wikipedia. Between them they can answer most questions I manage to throw at them.

Poor sods, forced to wear orange suits, constantly asked questions they have no answer to, kept in large hangars, might as well be in Guantanemo...
