Scary huh!

Of the sheds, Wickes is usually slightly cheaper than most of the
others (if you don't mind banana wood!). A timber merchant will
sometimes be a bit cheaper again though[1].

Hi John

Yes, I went to wickes as its the cheapest of them by a fair way,
sorted through the bananas, but the total at the till was still eye

What do the sheds actually *do* with the bent rubbish? Every time I go to
buy a lump of timber I have to search past a load of boomerangs which
nobody's going to buy, so they must periodically burn it or something?
