Noticed in my local B&Q that they have this on offer at £49:99 instead of
the £69:99 they started at.

Seems like they are trying to get rid of them after all the problems.

Hmm.....

So now the suckers will buy them at £49.99 instead. Perhaps B&Q
thinks that at that price, people will bin them rather than taking the
time to return them.

All of which is a bit surprising. Perhaps Dulux have better
contract negotiators than B&Q.

A new gadget from a well known brand name. I'm surprised you didn't
gobble that up at the full price.

You're kidding. Surely you can spot a gimmick when you see one.

I noticed stacks of them (literally pallet loads!) in our local B&Q
(Folkestone) yesterday together with a load of new advertising.

I wonder if this is a v2 model. They certainly seemed to always have a
few returns behind the counter when they first appeared...

I noticed a few sleeves over bollards advertising DPPs at Homebase
yesterday. I don't often go there, although it's only 10 mins walk
from home, but the PPs may have been there 'for some time'.

I didn't go in looking for painting gadgets - all I was after was
fabric dye, which seems to be like hens' teeth these days.

John Lewis, Wilkinsons and a local haberashers/fabric shop. All have
limited ranges of Dylon. And that seems to be your lot (in real, not
virtual, shops).

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

I found the best range of colours in a local art store.

Me too. I have never had any problem finding fabric dye. To suggest
that it is "like hens' teeth these days" is patently ridiculous.
