I saw both light and dark creosote on sale today [16.04.03] in B&Q.


Yet our B&Q, only about 40 miles from Lincolnshire tell me they have no
sleepers in stock and will no longer be stocking sleepers of any kind.

Alas, given the lack of motivation of dstaff there, and their knowledge
about gardening products, I wouldn't be in the lerast surprised to see
them on special offer next week.
