Anyway, I digress. Back to B&Q. We were lucky enough to catch it, as
this was about 3:30pm yesterday and it shuts at 4pm. I rushed in with
time to spare and grabbed the only bit of 28mm piping I could find - 3
bloody metres of it! We only needed a bit! Anyway, looked at the
price - £15.98 - horrified! So, I took it to the checkout knowing I
didn't really have much choice, and the young girl on the checkout
looked up at it, grabbed a ring binder full of bar codes (there wasn't
one on the pipe) and asked, "Is that 3 metres of 22mm?"

Well, who was I to argue over a few mm? Ended up paying £7.48 which
was still too much but I felt happy anyway!


How very dishonest of you.

I did consider going slightly further and cutting the 4" I needed off
the end and taking it back. Unless I was unlucky enough for there to be
another 3m length at the CS desk I'm sure nobody would have noticed!
(might have noticed the bend we put in it to get it in the car though)
