Forgot to say, just as we’re moving offices, a new massive B&M has just opened up 5 minutes walk from the current office. We’re not moving far though, maybe 10 minutes walk away, so some future happy lunchtimes rummaging about in there 😃I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Still not beat his record of 22 calls in a day - to be fair he was in hospital at the time recovering from a brain bleed and not of sound mind - but still 😱I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Oooh, new B&M! You'll have fun.
I loved it when we got one and still enjoy going there.

It’s a real treat to get to b&m as it’s a 60 mile round trip, but once I’m in there it takes time and patience to coax me out of the sweetie aisle 😂Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

I shall perhaps have to give that store another go. There's one about a mile from us on the way into town, but on the very few occasions I've been in there, I haven't been impressed. I didn't think the food prices were particularly cheap & didn't think the household stuff was any better than other cheap stores in town. I now think I must be missing something! It's a long time since I visited. Perhaps I should give it another go.
