Hmmm.... if true that's a bit sad :-(

It sounded true. The TimberClick guy seemed to know the Folkestone yard (he
talked about "when we were based there" whch actually sounds as if the old
firm mutated into TimberClick rather than being taken over by them) and
though he gave me the new owner's name and number readily enough, he was at
pains to emphasise that the stock was now very limited. Of course that
might have been nothing more than sales talk.

Apparently, the Folkestone yard is trading as Channel Timber Yard Ltd: they
have an ad in the local paper this week. "For all your timber needs" it
says. Of course that might just be sales talk, too. It's not that far from
me, I'll try to call round.
