Why don't they just offer value for money?

Hey Dave,

Some may see it as ironic that you accuse Homebase of being poor value
for money but then base your parts resale prices on theirs, or has that
changed?

Also, can't say I understand the Homobase moniker you apply when
referring to that company. I assume it is some sort of derisive comment
about their standing in the diy market but I thought that associating
negative attributes by reference to queers was something that most
people grew out of by their late teens, apparently not.

Lighten up dude...

For someone posting in the name of a business that purports to be a
polite, friendly and fair trader it seems to be a consistently repeated
careless remark.
