Gahh, what a fiasco.. :mad: No consolation now I know but next time ask for the Manager or Deputy Manager, tell a small white lie if necessary, say the Manager from so & so (a n other branch) has told me to call your branch to check firework stocks, we need about £1200 for the local residents/scouts etc display but need to stock check/reserve before setting out due to the distance. There was a poster in here few pages back that called Melbicks up and were told that they didn't actually DO fireworks...

Was more upset they had none of the lovely standard stuff you got, yet it is the same garden centre chain!:eek:

Gpuk

Just for info for people looking for deals....did anyone see the offer in the express today? Spend £15 on fireworks at Sainsburys and get a pack of 4 fireworks worth £30 free. Not sure if this is a good offer or not but might be good for someone?? The free fireworks are made by Standard and it looks like from the picture there are 2 mine's, a fountain and a 120 shot barrage.
