but we do have to pay for the service and convenience offered by B&Q
etc.
who offer service 7 days a week.

As do the Screwfix and Toolstation trade counters. I'm not fortunate
enough
to have a Toolstation Trade Counter near me, but I do have a Screwfix one
and Sunday opening is very useful.

=========================
That's very useful if you're lucky enough to live close to either a
Screwfix or a Toolsation trade counter. Maybe they should open more outlets
to compete with the virtual monopoly enjoyed by B & Q. The fact is that
most of us who complain about B & Q prices are quite happy to be able to
use them in an emergency or for small orders.

Personally, I often buy more than my immediate needs from both Screwfix and
Toolstation just to get the benefit of their prices and free delivery, but B
& Q are always there for browsing and the occasional one-off item.

B & Q apparently have more than 300 outlets scattered across the UK whereas
Screwfix and Toolstation have only about 20 between them so they're not
really competing in the same market.
