Screwfix is one of the few things I miss about the UK.

I wonder if they'll have actual shops as well, so you can fix your toilet on a Sunday if need be!

Screw fix direct: Our wearhouses are located in Taree NSW and all of our pickups can be made from that location.

Re: Screwfix in Australia
A few things i find odd about the sites
To be honest i dont think its the real deal
- The site doesn't look very professional & unfinished. Allot of big companies would not upload an unfinished website
- The Copyright date is 2008.
- The website domain name isnt registered to a company but to an individual.
- The site was last edited in 2008
- The site was designed by a small marketing firm. Normally large companies that have a big online presence have a dedicated web development team
- The lack of an official logo
To be honest i dont think its the real deal

Cool.
All we need now is for scotch eggs to appear in regular supermarkets and everything will be complete.

Taken together with the comments above.. it does seem odd that 15 years of online selling, produces that.
