B and Q excitement

[Cornelius]

Went to B and Q Exeter this morning, saw a few things I never normally see on the shelf anywhere. Unifinish, board finish and browning! Should have got a selfie really! 7 pallets of multi on the shelves aswell. Proper job!

The one near me often has out of date browning at 50p a bag. They always stock it just no one buys it.

Same here. Whole pallet in mine that's six weeks out of date. I'm the only one that's noticed. The unifinish is out of date on 30th March. Keeping my eye on it. Got a free hi viz off them yesterday with Tradepoint on the back. If I wanted I could pretend I worked there and start asking people if they need any help etc.

We used to plaster kitchens for b and q and we got kitted out with t shirts the same as the staff wear in store. When you went in to pick materials up the general public where all over you it was mental. Few times ended up going back to the van for a jacket.

Yeah Im going to try it at the weekend. Just hang around. I'll tell people I'll be right back and then just leave them standing there. Or give them some dodgy advice.

Me too and I still use it .not a patch on toughcoat though

 

[Cornelius]

Don't think I've used browning actually. It was tough coat when I started and now hardwall more popular

It was either those bags or pairs of 1/2" board that fooked my back

Funny thing was when you mixed Browning it was like spreading fresh air

Tell them that they are the millionth customer and they can do a 10 minute trolley dash around the shop and have anything for free and they don't have to stop at the till....just run and load the car

It didn't feel like fresh air pushing it back n forth with a shovel in the bath as a skinny 16 year old

Was much easier than bonding in the bath and rake. That was hard work
