Had an e-mail today re. this - almost dumped it as I couldn't unforget
giving B&Q my addy, but a preview showed it to be OK.

The site is a lot quicker than B&Q's (not difficult), seems to have a
reasonable range although many items out of stock.

Is it riding on Screwfix's stock and delivery systems and just another
outlet to broaden the market? It would be a cheap way of doing it.

The fact that its using JSP alone is a big clue that its using the SF
back end code.

Interestingly, you note they have rebuilt the mains site as well now to
use the same back end. diy.com has just got an order of magnitude faster!

By 'eck, it is too!
Didn't have that lobody thing re. survey in a few minutes of browsing
(ping! - that's how it got my addy - I complained about the pop-up), by my
Hosts file has ~137,000 entries so that probably stopped it.
