I like it in the sense that:

1) if I want something where B&Q are competitive
2) they actually have it
3) I can wait till the next Wednesday

then I use it! Usually on the same day as getting pet food and using my
card for that, just down the road.

BTW, I call it a 'wrinkly card'.

Have they changed it? I've had a card for years but rarely use it. Is my
old card still valid?

Depends on what it is (often paint). And Screwfix incurs a substantial
fuel cost for me...compared to B&Q which is right next to where I often
shop anyway.

Indeed.

In case this isn't a wind up, I'll give the reason I do it.

If they are foolish enough to pass on or sell your email address to
others, you can tell who the originators are, dump any emails to that
address and swear never to darken their ugly door again.

In my case I have so many pointed email addresses that I've invented so
far in the past that I can't remember who they were in many cases. To be
fair, not many have passed on my address.

Mr Pounder is an English gentleman, not a 2/3 ****ed up Jock.
Mr Pounder knows how to use acceptable grammar. You type like a Facebook

Mr Pounder, as a customer, exercised his rights to complain about shoddy
