    our store (northampton) closes on the 19th i heard....just had a look, some 'ok' prices now but only if you really need things..i was after bird food, but its still only 30% off ...paint 40% off ...maximum was 70% off ...saw some towel rails soap trays with 70% off but the original prices were about £35 and £15 so they were still stitting on the shelf

    All light bulbs and batteries are 60% off although the signs say 50% (at Northampton). Got single GU10 halogen (?) bulbs for £1.29 instead of £2.99

    Yes, its on about page 3 or 4 of this thread!!

    Wickes, B&M and B&Q are the purchasers I think. Not all stores are sold though so some will become empty units.

    the focus at cramlington is lust about sold out but there are still a few bargains, i bought amongst quite a few things a 6x6 greenouse for £100 when i said it looks like parts are missing they give me another one free!! all things at least 50% and quite a few at 70% off!!
    The Focus at ashington is still well stocked up but their sales are a week behind cramlington's, each price drop is on a thursday so there should be some great bargains next week (this one is becoming a B&Q, and a lot of the staff seem to have gained jobs with them when it switches,good news)
    please remember to check anything in a box you buy as a lot of items have things missing ;)

    Benfleet store is due to close on Sunday, however judging by very little stock yesterday l don't think they will see today out. Managed to get wallpaper at 90% off yesterday. 5ltr Dulux paint (mixed machine) £6.39 instead of £32.99 along with many more bargains.

    It was certainly doom and gloom for the satff as that store is not being brought. Lets hope all the staff effected are able to secure new jobs soon.
