Well it has started already, B&Q used to be part of our weekly shopping trip in the UK now it has become Bunnings, even the kids ask at the weekends are we going to Bunnings. Why is it that we always come out of there with a lot more than we went in for.

We are there every week.We go in,kids go straight to the play ground and then me and the oh go off in different directions.

Bunnings?

Some women love shoe stores. Others love jewellery shops. Me? I've been banned by my husband from going to Bunnings.

Just think B&Q, Homebase, etc......

When our daughter was young she kept talking about going to Bunnings and kept asking when we would be going next. Although we went occasionally we couldn't understand the obsession until we worked out that she was actually trying to say Bernice.

I go just as an excuse for the sausage sizzle

I think a lot of people end up there as its the only damn place open on sundays, especially in perth.

But even though a lot of people on the forums go there, if you suggest sunday trading on these forums people tend to go a bit crazy against it, with some missed placed idea that it will spoil the world or something if more shops were to open on sundays

In fairness there are other places open in Perth on a Sunday.

Me too, could spend 20,000 in there right now!

Some guys I used to work with called Bunnings, 'the church.' Conversations on a Monday morning went something like:

"Did you go to church on Sunday?"

"Yeah, got myself some good timber for the new fence and a nail-gun; it's awesome! How about you?"

"Sure, I didn't need anything really but came away with beaut gas barbie for the summer. Our old one had nearly had it, anyway. Tried the new one out when I got home and cooked up a storm!"

But where the shelves are actually stocked and where (in our closest one anyway) the staff are visible and actually know what they're talking about. Can't speak for other branches but the one at Burleigh is excellent, even if I do have to go by the sausage sizzle on the way for hubby or tiddler

A side issue: The performance of places like Bunnings, B&Q, Homebase etc serves as a good indicator of how well a country is performing economy wise.
