Went to buy some timber today from our local branch of Travis Perkins. These days it's either impossible or a huge faff for non trade customers to check prices. I'm not unfamiliar with buying timber (too many diy projects to be unaware of what's what) and had expected the total to be around fifty quid. Imagine my surprise to find it was double that. I was so gobsmacked/flustered that I didn't have the nous to say put it back. When I got home I checked with the Wickes website, a paragon of clear descriptions and accurate pricing, and was more than a bit peeved to find that my original estimate would have been close if there had been a branch of Wickes within striking distance. can you tell i'm a bit cross with myself.
Several morals to this sad tale; one would be check the price before buying, another might be don't shop at Travis Perkins. Grrrrrrr.
