It was never going to end up well.

Lived in Oz for a few years, a company rented newbuild property with maintenance
contract for everything, so no need to even consider any DIY, and from what I
understood lots of what we do in the UK home either legally or not such as
structural work, plumbing and electrics are well off limits with the protected
trades they have over there.

Can't understand how an outsider like Bunnings knew anything about the UK
market, the current incumbents like B&Q, Wickes and Homebase struggle as to
what they are and what market they are aiming for.
