I wonder if anything will cchange.

I've just come back from our local TS branch.

Apparently Goddard-Watts is still in charge but no longer the owner. So
the board composition is different with more TS involvement.
He said that there had been little interference in day to day running by
TP and he did not anticipate much change it that situation.
The board at TP are very aware of the harm that the new ownership of
Screwfix have caused and don't want to do the same to TS.


"Management studies history so as not to repeat mistakes". That's got to be
a first, but if it's true then it is quite encouraging


Sadly of the 5 items I wanted today, 4 are only sold by SF and I had the
usual wait there but they did have everything in stock this time!
