Nothing too drastic happened to me, but my regular supplier was out of stock of several items.

Considering that the Norwich branch is supposedly one of their "Super-Warehouses" or whatever they call it, they seem to be out of very basic items rather too often. For example, this time:

* Cable cleats for 6942 1.5mm 2-c SWA -- No stocks.

* SWA glands for above -- No exterior types in stock.

* Black enamel adaptable box, the handy 3x3x2 size -- No stocks.

* Osram 100W BC Rough-service bulbs -- Only 18 in stock.

* Molded weatherproof junction boxes -- No stocks.

And so on.

I resorted to the nearby B&Q store, and found out that although they carry SWA cable they don't sell cleats. [Linked Image]

By the time I finished, I hit the rush-hour traffic coming out. [Linked Image] Now I know why I get materials delivered whenever I can!
