I have a small project of my own under construction. Very small. I have to box in our generation meter. So, off to Homebase for some wood, hinges, a magnetic catch and some screws. Well, they had half of what I needed, and nearly ten pounds lighter, I headed home. Then I went to York Supplies to see what they had. Flush hinges, 50p each, not £2 for two. Mag catch, 50p, not £2.99. Screws, from a truly comprehensive range, 3p each, not 1.50 for eight. Piece of plywood, cut to size 350 x 250 from a handy off cut for £1.50. Thank you to Johnathon and Stuart at the oldest ironmongers in Kings Heath.
