Woodies and B&Q were the places reporters and photographers were sent to as observers eagerly anticipated long queues of people desperate for gardening gear.

They were buying items they had been denied buying for 2 months. Many essential. What about it!?

Can people please support our local independent Hardware shops and Garden Centres. B&Q and Woodies are owned by British multi-Billion corporations such as the Grafton Group and are putting our small independents out of business. Stay local, shop local, support local. Thankyou.
