A thread to discuss our trips to, perusals around and favourite parts of stores.
Not interested in your projects ta, just the shopping experience.
For example me and V just went,
He buys a stick (dowel) , likes to try all the door knockers and bells. I like the garden centre and we both enjoy the power tool section.
I also got some paint testers.
I also like trying the knockers
They’ve opened up the car park burger vans again.
Like the wood area. Smells of wood.
Yes! Love that woody smell. And when you get them to cut the big bits in, err, smaller bits with the mega saw.
Remember me and my mate going to one to buy a door once.
“Do you sell doors?”
“Yeah”.
doesn’t proceed to show us the doors
Had my best ever sausage barm the other week in a B&Q car park. Belting
Love the door section too. Like looking at each door and imagining it might be my door. The I like to tip them all over one at a time from all leaning one way to all leaning the other, whilst gauging the weight of each one.
There was a period a while ago when one of the highest rated restaurants on TripAdvisor in Nuneaton was a burger van on an industrial estate. Sadly I can’t seem to find it now.
Not going might be my biggest regret.
I like it when you can actually open them or they are like in a fan and you can flick through.
I feel properly middle aged when I walk into a DIY store with a tape measure in hand.
This is why I have a lifetime ban from Argos
More of a DIY store purist nowadays. No time for browsing, pretend to be a trade at screwfix
Need some nails. I’m going to take in the ones I’ve got, and explain that I need some slightly different ones. Should get some good nail chat from them which I’m looking forward to.
I like saying “I’m just going to use the toilet” and head purposefully towards one of the display shitters.
Kids like getting in the bath / shower and obviously sitting on the fake toilets.
It’s all in all a great morning out.
Then you’d have loved this place
I like the garden part the best but also enjoy the paint section and the bathrooms/kitchen bit.
Tools. Not power tools. Just regular tools. Pliers, screw drivers etc.
Some mega drill bits spotted today.
