I assume the VCs and management already received their bonuses for the

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

The Homebases I might have used have all gone.
They excelled in nothing, and never had more

I was surprised they carried on as long as they did.

The only thing I did use them for in latter years
was the lighting and house plant departments.
