"B&Q owner Kingfisher has seen its half-year profits increase by
more than a third, saying it was benefiting from a "renewed
consumer interest" in DIY."

Not so long ago, B&Q claimed they were making a pitch for the
female shoppers of "fashionable home decoration" items. I haven't
seen any pink screwdrivers though ...

Maybe not in B&Q but...

When our daughter moved into a shared flat, we bought her a set of
tools with pink or purple handles (not the ones in your link), so
that they'd be readily distinguishable from those of her male
flatmates. They're very good tools, but a bit 'fluffy-looking', so
less likely to be absorbed into someone else's toolbox. Turns out,
not only was she the only one with any tools, she was the only one
who knew how to use them, having grown up in a home where both
parents actually possess practical skills.

Yes, when one of our sons joined the RAF he was the only newbie who
could iron his own shirts and press his trousers - even the girls
couldn't do it. And that was 25 years ago.

Bit slow Geoff - I've already had a row with her...
