Well it started today in Barnsley.

I went into Newport and the No Frills DIY clearance shed.

Not a sausage in there. Stock levels were more or less the same as
Christmas (i.e. half the shed is walled off and empty) but instead of
being Focus stock (OK, but originally stupidly over-priced) it was now
all Payless stock (nasty rubbish, at any price). Discounts were 20% &
30% off, which isn't enough to bring this stock down to a sensible
price, let alone a bargain.

I only spent about a fiver, and that was for something that would have
been .cheaper in Screwfix, but it saved me a further trip.
