Is B&Q currently in some kind of financial crisis? I went into my local
store yesterday and found that every item on my shopping list was sold
out.
Today, I was hoping to reserve a list of nine other items from a much
larger depot (in Poole, Dorset) and every item on my list proved to be
"out
of stock".

I've not been able to complete even lists of three or four items in ether
B&Q or Screwfix lately (this year, in fact). Plus the range in Screwfix is
getting much smaller and more pricey too. Defeats the whole 'shed' raison
de'etre. One-stop shopping becomes ten sheds and a mail order!
Increasingly I'm finding most of what I buy is ending up coming from Amazon
these days!
