i think it's because we hate ourselves for being there  yesterday we bought a shower screen, had to take it back today cause the opaque glass had flaws in it, and also it was the wrong part compared to the part number we wanted. so you ask the kids about stock levels, and they say well if it shows under 5, don't trust the stock control computer how do you ever win with them ;D paul |

actually i kind of have an excuse honest friend wants to instal an over the bath shower panel. a 4 piece one in B&Q is about a ton, in a bathroom store about 250 quid, so what do you do? mind you next is looking at internal prepainted doors boy what a pita that is( definately can't afford colin or jason's prices :  actually internal doors really are boring and expensive and not very chic aren't they?? paul |

True but they are not solid hardwod doors as they claim they are . They are solid hardwood core doors with a thin veneer and sold as external doors .

in general i agree, but the ones i saw in amersham were really solid, not cored. well unless i had a couple of hundred spare to cut one in half, that is what the half sections showed but in principal i do agree with you. paul |
