Default B&Q - My part in its downfall...

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.
