"Omnichannel retailing" = Having a shop and a website. Dear god, can't
people talk clearly any more?

Quite. I think you mean having a shop that's overpriced & doesn't have
what you want & a web site that's useless. :-)

;-) Mind you, B&Q is still miles ahead of Homebase and long gone Great
Mills, Texas, DoItAll (and any others I've forgotten.)

Wasn't Great Mills actually Focus in the end?

(I picked up a few bargains in the closing down sale)

No the makers of Thesauruses have a lot to naswer for. There should be a
usage flag on the words really.

I like the way many sites tell you where an item still is in stock,
supposedly near you but its usually not anywhere near you and if you go
there they have not got it.

Perhaps they are meaning more than shop + website. B&Q ladies (or
gentlemen) coming round to show you their latest products in your home?
B&Q coffee mornings where the local representative pushes your arm way
up your back to make you buy at least something? B&Q vans doomed to
circle the country forever stopping off to deliver or demonstrate their
products? B&Q cold-callers frapping our front doors and offering their
special offer daffodils to plant in the garden covered by B&Q concrete
paving.

Phew! Sorry folk, must have had a nightmare...
