It's the size of the Homebase ripoff that irritates me. As with
Dixons/PC World they carge the earth for the consumable items while
selling the durables maybe a little cheaper than High Street prices.

I've just bought a huge (1/4 mile!) roll of thin mains flex from B&Q.
I thought I was doing well haggling it down to 1/3rd of list. Then I
