Bulb Fibre
I was in Homenase this morning and sudenly remembered I needed some bulb
fibre. Looked around, none in sight. Asked girl at desk, who asked another girl, consulted the computer and said they dont stock it or its discontinued! Left store and in the entrance saw all the bulbs and "Bulb Planting Compost". Why has it suddenly changed its name? Went into local garden/pet shop in the high street and bought it there (as bulb fibre!) -- Roger T 700 ft up in Mid-Wales |
