Literally - Look At This Box (B&q)


Dean

Recommended Posts

Might be in wrong section but couldn't resist the silly pun.

Was in my local B&Q tonight. Years have programmed my brain to be on the lookout for something to hold 7", or a couple of 7"s alongside each other.

Saw this box on the shelve. It would be no good at all for travelling but thought it may be ok for home storage. Not that well built, crappy little ribbon hinge on lid, metal hinges joining lid to box are cheap, handles won't be much use when full, but for all that thought it was quite neat for under £10.

Just thought it worth a public service to give it a shout out on here.

Doh, thought I'd found something new on the market, not noticed them before. Must be a bit behind around mansfield, they were shelved between the cat-gut and horse shoes!

...........

Phone the store first to make sure they have them then go on line and reserve them thru the "reserve and collect" system. Also, wait until the weekend because its 15% off when you spend £50 or more between Friday and Monday....
