Last week I ordered a Makita 2000w Angle Grinder to cut a concrete base up [I have the same model bought off the shelf in 2012 at the local B&Q Store but it's now gathering dust at our hovel in France]. Fair enough, the item was next day from the Screwfix Central Warehouse to our local Screwfix Depot, and it arrived shortly after 12 noon the next day.
I now find that I need to trim the bottom of the door that led onto the concrete base to get a proper fit over the wooden door strip that will need to raised by the application of CT1 waterproof adhesive under the door strip. My Surform Plane blade needs replaced, so just tried to place an online order for a £4.79 blade at Screwfix. 'Available for Next Day Delivery only from our Central Warehouse'! I need the bloody blade today! It's hardly a specialist/high value tool is it? Had to resort to buying a block plane at £6.48 to get the job done before we leave for the Spanish Winter Sun and where I'll be able to buy the tools by the shedload off the shelf ...
What a joke this country has become
