True - have you a Wicks handy? They're cheaper than Homebase. Almost
anywhere is. M6 ones need a 12mm hole in the wall. They are big enough to
expand between bricks if you hit the mortar course and get a good grip
that way.

The easiest one for me to get to is Screwfix - a 5 min walk from the
tube station which is half way on my journey home.

And that's what I've just done - so we'll see how it goes!
