Default Check the box!

Bloody DIY stores!

Yesterday I had to assemble a desk and fit a blind for a lady (she had
purchased both). By sheer luck I decided to fit the blind first. No
brackets in the box.

I got on with the desk while she drove to B&Q to sort the blind out.

Today I was fitting a kitchen sink that I had bought from Wickes. No clips,
blanking disc or sealing strips in the box.

15 mile round trip, lady without water for 45mins extra, late for second
job.

From now on I shall completely unpack anything I buy before I leave the
store.
