Errrr. After all that, I still want to come over, but I'll start a new pension, take the 65" TV back to Currys and take a quick trip to B&Q first.

Is there such a thing as a quick trip to B&Q? Used to take ages to get through the tills where I lived. That's why everyone went on bank holiday weekends. It gave them a chance of getting out before getting back to work.
