Was repairing an old UK built amp today and noticed one of the rubber feet
was missing. It was held in place by a self tapper - a bit like a small
seat buffer. Perhaps a 1/2" in diameter.

So had a look in B&Q to see if they had something similar. They had, but
self adhesive. And 3.68 for four. For four small pieces of plastic.
Perhaps people don't look at what things cost these days - relying on a
fair pricing policy?

I didn't buy them.

A lot of their stuff is a total rip off. Homebase seem the worst for
overcharging though.

Although they have a more limited stock the quality and price of the
stuff at Wickes isn't bad.


Their stablemate is Focus DIY and I have seen some of Wickes prices in
there. They also do a nice discount card for those over a certain age.
