You will know when you have found the secret cave at the very back of the store.

Weirdly, the listings on B&Q's diy.com have pictures of (own brand) Diall bolts and screws and nails and whatnot where the packaging is labelled in Russian.

Example:

Has #KingfisherPLC just not bothered to update its WWW site since 2018? It made a big deal out of removing the Russian merchandise in 2022. Bizarre that its WWW site was not considered part of its public face in that regard.

I'll check in Wickes today, as I happen to be going there, but I know that B&Q does plain wooden circular cross-section rods of varying diameters and that can be cut down to 700mm.

At least it did the last time that I was looking for one, which was a couple of years ago. There was a special display at the back of the shop in the B&Qs in the Big City. There's now a B&Q in the nearby Town (it having taken over the erstwhile Homebase site).

These places do explicit plastic curtain rails as well, of course, but my experience is that pre-made shelving and railing is never *quite* the right size and doesn't cut to fit.

@GossiTheDog While in #BandQ today, the staff said they'd been having "some IT Issues like M&S"

Not sure if this was the staff just making a parallel of "generic IT issues" or if there has been some incident they haven't admitted yet

Fugue - Interview du 23/11/2024

Nous n'avons pas pu assister au concert de la release party du nouvel EP de Fugue, mais au vu des balances, il semblait promettre de délivrer une dose pleine d'émotions et d'énergie. Avant de monter sur scène, le groupe nous a accordé quelques minutes. Pour ceux qui ne vous connaissent pas ou comme moi qui viennent de vous découvrir, pouvez-vous nous résumer l'historique de votre groupe ? Comment vous...

Reminds me of when #Channel4 made a whole Reality TV series about woodworking featuring a guy with a #Nazi symbol* tattooed on his face that was about to broadcast before people noted one of the contestants had a Nazi symbol tattooed on his face

*("88"...and he was not born in 1988)

I'm ridiculously happy that #Waterford will be getting a #BandQ #HardwareStore back, they have always been my favourites and I was gutted when the old one closed. While I can't do all I used to be able to do (looking at you hand spasms) I still love a bit of #DIY now and then. #mastodaoine #deise
