Ha you mean one of the two lucys . Blonde one im guessing 🙂

You should try sankeys off dean rd for an independent

Not sure of her name mate, to be fair, I'm not even sure she has a head, I must try to look that far up one day 😉
I will deffo try Sankeys when I'm round that way next.
 
Contentious issue lol.
I'll likely use them when pushed and when they have offers on. Good to have options though, have plumb center, city plumbing, an independent and now screwfix in the same industrial park. In the retail park across the road there's pee and poo and homebase for those sunday evening nightmare jobs.
 
I really really hope so 🙂

I agree about prices but you do get a trade discount on a lot of the stuff if you sign up to plumbfix. As someone else mentioned, I shop mostly between Plumbfix and Toolstation, I sometimes wander over to PTS especially when they had some cracking prices on Stelrad Softlines last year.
I used to shop at a great independant merchants and the guy really knew his stuff but he has closed down now. There's another merchants nearby but I have found out that I have the wrong skin-tone to get the better discounts there, plus they're ignorant sods in there and don't know their arse from their elbows.
If I had a local indie that was anything like the guy who closed down I wouldn't be giving half as much trade to the big boys, except maybe when her with the boobies was on shift at Plumbfix...

you only get trade on plumbing things - jo public get everything else same price
 
I like my plumbbase near me i could kick a foot ball at it from my hose that's how close it is.
But id rather got to screwfix 10 mims away then my local right now.
They stock loads and im getting pacl of 20 end feed elbows for £4.21 not getting them at that price in plumb base pluss there's a little guy works in there i really want to smack on the nose

All your doing is killing your own trade

We are all small companies. Support each other. Not the sheds
I've gone out of my way to support my local merchant but the prices are all over the place. One day I'll get a decent discount ,next day cost double. With screwfix you know exactly what your paying. Tried so hard to get a decent two way deal going but not working.
