Hey everybody,
I'm working with a big DIY retailer to create a better home
improvement store, kind of like a B&Q of the future. The question is
what's the best/worst thing about DIY stores today?? Expert advice and
guidance seems the first thing for the public DIY-ers but what about
people that work in the industry?

Don't know about advice, but I would like:

Sensible prices[1];

Stock in the right bins and levels maintained;

Double-kiddie shopping trolleys.
Really? I didn't know you could buy kiddies in DIY stores :-)
Seriously, I don't think children have any place in a DIY store. It's
full of sharp, heavy, pointy things. Keep 'em away, so they can't hurt
themselves, or others.

Rubbish. Do you suggest I leave them at home on their own then (apart from
it being illegal)? Sometimes I have a hard time with some of the nonsense
that gets spouted here.

That is EXACTLY why I want a double kiddie trolley - so I can keep them
together and away from the pointy bits and out from under the feet of grumpy
old gits.
