Went into Jewsons the other day...only place near my job, they wanted £17.50 for 2 offcuts of floorboard 700 long which the lad in the yard said were going to be chucked, but when he asked his manager said charge for them...robbing f**king c**ts
 
It's £4:65 and £4:78 in Smiths or Travis collected inc VAT. That's on account though so no idea what the terms are or 'walk in' price.

Even less when you claim the VAT back. (y)
 
I pay about 4.80-4.90 at the merchants and dont have to put it on a trolley. Cart it round a shop que behind some knob buying some wallpaper then load it onto the van.

Or try and weave the heavy trolley round some myopic old giffer standing in the middle of the isle trying to focus on the labels so that he can buy two brass screws. :estudioso:

Is that baddie builder making you buy and collect your own materials? Next thing you'll be telling us is that he doesn't carry it in for you and make you a brew. :eek:

At your age you need to start planning ahead, there're only so many miles in those grandad knees and elbows. Maybe now is the time to start getting an improver like @Lodan on board?

:LOL:

Nisus seems like a bit of a strange one so I might be a bit to worried for my safety to go in with him....would I be eligible for all those free fry ups he seems to get?
 
I spent about 5 years running a hundred miles a week so my knees are probably in worse shape that nisus'
 
just been to wickes and signed up, just bought a few multi and even treated myself to some new work boots

I have never managed to get a merchant to beat wickes

The one near me used to beat any price by 10% providing you took in a quote or your terms printed out from the merchants. I'm on the lafarge contractors list so used to get the boards cheap , would then go in and get gear cheaper again by 10% they hated it lol
