Thanks for this update. I guess I was out of date!

This is the problem with being based in London, that I only end up going
down to Chandlers Ford (B&Q head office) about once a month.

Regards,

Mark

Hmmm - I actually had a phone call from my local Homebase regarding some
pasting tables I'd ordered, and he told me that they were closing down all
the big stores as they were focussing on the smaller ones.

This one is in Greenwich and is as big (if not bigger) than any B&Q
I've
been to.  It's also got a huge Jewson store tacked onto the side of it.

There's also a notice on the window saying its closing down.

Re: Homebase

Erm, the most recent news that I'd heard is that they were going to open
about 25 more this year, and refurbish 70. Schroders also seem to want to
concentrate on the _bigger_ stores, so if anything it would be the
"mini"
ones that suffered.

Homebase stores are on average, about half the sq. ft. of B&Qs.
