When I signed up they just wanted proof that I had a certificate relating to electrical works, they asked for my membership number but as to whether they contacted them I have no idea.
That aussie firm who have taken over homebase give out free hotdogs on a sunday in Oz. I am hoping they do the family sizzle events in teh uk, but suspect it will attract the wrong crowd! should offer it to people spending x amount only. you wouldnt mind homebase prices then if you get a hotdog!My regular supplier always has a full wild boar,on a spit-roast,and nubian eunuchs,serving honey-mead...
I think you lot need to find establishments,willing to try harder...
get yourself an espresso machine at home and a bag of ground coffee, then a thermal cup, you will save a fortune. once you try fresh coffee you realise that instant crap really is awfulI can't start the day without my costa, worth every penny of the £2.95.

With the new owners taking a £584M write down on the business I don't think that will happen.That aussie firm who have taken over homebase give out free hotdogs on a sunday in Oz.

When they bought the company it turns out homebase had millions of quids worth of stock sitting in warehouses they had forgot about, i learnt this as when in a store i asked what the heck they were doing with spice girls wallpaper in 2017! they said then about the old stock and how this mountain of plastic storage boxes was part of it and thats why they are so cheap - they had sat in a warehouse for close to a decade. they have turned some homebase stores (mainly small dated ones with short leases) into clearance stores where this random stock goes to be sold cheap, they are then going to close some warehouses as they are surplus to requirements. the random stuff ranges from fittings, storage stuff, tools and furniture. its a case of what they find next in the warehouse. I bought a new light fitting that had a faded old homebase logo on the outside for a tenner, back in 2009 when on sale it was £49.99, so cant complainWith the new owners taking a £584M write down on the business I don't think that will happen.
The trouble in the UK is you just get the scum abusing it, look at the Black Friday event a few years back with people going mad for sh!te TV's or the opening of the new Ikea store in Enfield.

400g jar of coffee and 2 bags sugar £2.95. thats coffee for a month in the civilised North, not just 1 cup of over-priced sludge.I can't start the day without my costa, worth every penny of the £2.95.
up here in the civilised North, we have ciggy lighters. matches are some sort of ball game played by the likes of arsenal and west ham. one day they'll approach the standards of Liverpool and Accrington Stanley.
Just shows you what a rip off this coffee business is.400g jar of coffee and 2 bags sugar £2.95. thats coffee for a month in the civilised North, not just 1 cup of over-priced sludge.
Recently had a problem with my Baxi combi boiler (hot water, no heating).I wonder if Dan could tell us if on the plumber's forum they have all this debate regarding DIY gas jobs?Maybe a staff member could bring this question to his attention it would be interesting to know with their gas safe.
