Out of the goodness of my heart I ordered Mrs Opti a  swan-neck tap for her kitchen sink.

I placed the order at four in the afternoon, and it arrived extremely well packaged at ten the following morning.

The total cost was £56.......and it looks all but identical to the one Homebase are currently selling for £169 :o :o :o :o

Screwfix. Pretty good I think...........unless you know better. :y :y :y :y

Fair play mr opti , thats quite a gift ...maybe some fur lined cuffs for the ball and chain next  ;D ;D :y

Never used screwfix but will be popping in to have a gander ...

I have always found screwfix great for stuff like screws nails etc well priced, delivered, and good for the specials. It is a pain in the arse going to an outlet and looking through catalogue, the assistants are there to take the order, usless for help and info.

Didn't the founder of Screwfix sell out a few years ago and start another similar business

Nearly right it was 2 brothers who setup screwfix and 1 of the brothers sold his share then went off and setup toolstation. screwfix and b&Q both now owned by kingfisher. Sorry I only know this because I now work for screwfix..

Its quicker to log onto the website register then find what you want then order and pickup in your local store.. or you can check your local store has what you want and just pop down with the 5 digit part number order pickup and go. :y
