I understand B&Q do trade discounts, but you have to go to the big
warehouse places or whatever they call them? Is that right? A few q's
for anyone in the know...

How difficult is it to get trade prices there; are there hoops to jump
through?

Once you've been given 'trade' once, do they give you a card to flash on
subsequent occasions so you don't have to do the freemason's handshake
routine every time?

Most importantly - if you do get a trade card (if there is one!) are you
you then allowed to use that at ordinary small B&Q's?

I'm asking because my most convenient (but not my preferred) d-i-y
outlet is B&Q, but it's a 'small' one, and the nearest B&Q 'warehouse'
is prohibitively far away (but I'd make the trip if it was worthwhile!)

Thanks
