Couldn't get anything of the sort in B&Q or Wickes the other week. Most
just looked blank; one older lady at B&Q knew what I wanted but said the
nearest thing they had was plain expanded polystyrene.

I have got that stuff from companies in trading estates, and boy - does the
service suck big balls when dealing with "trade" companies. What is it with
them? Do they stretch out a simple purchase for the benefit of builders so they
can charge their clients extra time while they have a cup of coffee?

I just don't get it. You can have service or a good range of specialised
hardware. Seldom can you find both at the same time.
