I got to London a bit early today and had a couple of hours to kill.
Angela's plane from Ottawa had a late start and had to fly into a pretty stiff breeze. So what is a man to do on Oxford Street, 3 minutes away from the airport? Well he gets to walk around Lee Valley of course. I fondled stuff. Bought some stuff. Life is frickin' awesome! |

I hear a Lowe's is setting up shop also!
Does this mean they will have to double all the US price tags before they open? wrote in message ... New Lee Valley store opening in WAterloo next month - less than a mile from home!!! |

For quantities of low end bolts etc, nothing beats TSC - buy by the lb. Does this mean they will have to double all the US price tags before they open? wrote in message .. .

Is that at Erb and Ira Needles area?
I always like Fairway too. Good quality stuff. Beaver not too bad. Can't afford Glenbriar's plumbing or noses in the air, even when I didn't curl...LOL wrote in message ...

They count on an emotional customer base that still believes there is some connection to the fabled honest farmer of Americana. I did notice you stated "low end bolts" - a bit better grade of fastener would eliminate that need for quantities of that low end junk. That said - it is really fun to walk into the place... -- -Mike- |
