I wonder what they're on about there, and what else they're planning to change?

Surely that's a buzzword-encoded statement that just means they have too many stores for the number of customers, and it's costing too much !
Homebase is nobodies first choice for DIY or Homewares, and always quite empty when I go there.


I sometimes nip in because there's one very close to us, and I'm usually
going past it on the way to elsewhere. But I usually find that they
don't have what I want. Half the time, it isn't that they don't sell it
- just that they've run out.
