Now you know the REAL reason why they changed the colours from red and
black. Anyone buying huge stocks of old twin and earth will have a
guaranteed business from DIY'ers for years.

I was in B&Q earlier today and noticed that there's not a sign of any of
the harmonised colours. I'd have been none the wiser that there had
been any changes at all.

Wickes, on the other hand, do have the new colours IIRC; and a notice on
the shelf directs you to their "Good Ideas" leaflet on the subject.
However, there are none to be had; apparently they have had a directive
from somewhere that they aren't allowed to give them out!
