    Well I've just been charged £9.50 for a 20kg bag of lafarge mortar mix, could'nt believe it!. I already knew they overcharged on wood but this is rediculous.

    Must be double the price charged in Wickes or B and Q

    That's definately the last time I use Travis Perkins Cranbrook. What a bunch of thieves.

    christ that is steep. its about £3 in wickes for the same bag. Ive always bought all my diy stuff at wickes and cant fault it.

    Bit of factoid but B&Q make a loss on every bag of cement they sell.

    Bit of a factoid but buying anything in Travis Perkins is a rip off unless you are a massive house builder or walk in there with £10k to spend.


    Toolstation on the other hand is cheaper than most....

    So did I.

    However, I'm not one to pass up an opportunity for a good moan. :p
