Business rates are small and should be abolished anyway. The real gain to
the council is more local people being employed and so not hogging up their
social services department.

They dont feel bloody small to me.

And seem to be very strange amounts, at least around here. There is a
site somewhere were you can look up the bussiness rates for an area.
Round here public loos seem to have bussiness rates of several
thousand pounds and quite large bussiness's just a few hundred.

We have a petrol station with rates of 24k a year.
I have to pay 2k a year for store I won (a large store granted)
No employees, no loos, no rubbish, very little traffic relatively
speaking.
What am I paying 2k for?
The police?
Hardly :-/

Depends what you have and what services you use. But on something like I
imagine Screwfix's warehouse to be they really aren't extortionate,
especially compared with sites on mainland Europe.

But of course businesses do get screwed on NI and everything else.

As for quality of staff the pickers need to be at least literate, have

picking form says "XY346501 Washer, Flat" from bin 2Z56 and 2Z56 only
contains 13A plugs labeled XY346501 they raise a query...

CPC seem to have occasional difficulties with this concept!

Indeed - but they are quite good at fixing it!

In my experience, they aren't very good at fixing it.
I've had the same wrong goods delivered again as replacements,
and it's sometimes something they don't even stock, so I think
their good-inwards inspections leave a little to be desired.

I bought a set of spanners - one was missing, sent it back, another
spanner was missing, sent it back and got the original set I sent back,

Placed an on-line order last night about half past six - normal

This morning - knock on the door at nine fifteen - the full delivery!!

Last week I placed an order for some stationary via Viking Direct, at
10pm in the evening.

The next morning at 8am the delivery driver knocks the door with the
full delivery. Only a couple of invoice books and a few reels of
packaging tape, but I was so impressed! They must've been packing the
van as the order came in.

Looked at "don't want your order" sign on Screwfix Website Monday pm,
Phone orders not accepted, placed order with Toolstation Tuesday noon.
Delivered today 3pm. Order taker apologised for possible shipping delay
as business had more than doubled in last few weeks and warehouse was
struggling to keep up!! Cost was lower than Screwfix!! Screwfix ex customer.
