I assume the VCs and management already received their bonuses for the
deal at Christmas time...


If the Norwich (S) branch is typical of the Bunnings effect, then
it won't be long before all of the branches close
down.

The Southend branch is much improved since the takeover but how many
people know it isn't the Homebase of old catering only to those who
wanted frilly cushions at inflated prices? The current pricing is not
competitive with the Screwfix and Toolstation less than five minutes
drive away.
