They've taken over the Homebase chain, who were already ****e, the first
re-branded store is due to open next month.

So far all they seem to have done is crammed the aisles with low-grade
stuff, basically they're still not on my list of places to go for DIY stuff.

Not sure I'd describe the old Homebase as '****e'. Maybe not the best
value for everything, of course.

Recently, cushions and dried flowers had displaced so much of the tools
and materials, their in-store saws for cutting wood disappeared years ago.

I did notice the one here now has a "free wood" bin near the exit, which
sounded like a good idea, as a schoolboy I remember going and paying
pennies for offcuts from the timber shop ... but when I looked in it all
there was, was damaged laminate flooring :-(

Never heard of them, sound like a well baked lot.

But that's in Australia where they originate. I don't know whether
they're the same in the UK.

He is too.

They do appear to be from the reports.

Hope they go broke, In AUS when they took over my hardware chain, they
cancelled every acc. that did not spend more than a set figure each
month so I have not bought anything in there since

More fool you. They are better than the other chains.

And better than the independents too.

Did Homebase even offer accounts?

You could probably have used an Argos card or business account there,
before they sold them.
