Default B&Q - so many items "out of stock"

Except that the 'sheds' are no longer cheap. Compare Toolstations prices to
Wickes or B&Q.

Flexible tap connector £6:99 in Wickes, £0:98 from Toolstation, 8 x 100
hammer fixings, pack of 20 in B&Q £8, pack of 10 from Toolstation £0:77.

I think Toolstation are still building market share (my local is always
quieter than the adjacent Sfx) and they will hike their prices once they
have it. They're in the same group as Travis Perkins so I can't see
their business motives being all that altruistic.
