Screwfix? I usually get stuff from them over the net because I hate shopping - is there anywhere equivalent in Canada that is cheap and does quick delivery?

I always think of Next as a place to buy clothes to wear for work, not that I wear clothes for work, well not clothes in the Next sense of the word. Scrubs that is.

In reverse... I think there is no UK equivalent for Princess Auto and TSC.

This is really interesting, comforting and re-assuring,

Anyone living in Calgary to give equivalents of stores please. And was also wondering if they do sales in Canada, Calgary to be specific; cos so used to and always looking forward to the UK Dec / Jan / Summer sales

Calgary (chain) stores are pretty much the same as the rest of Canada. Give me some specifics and I'll hit ya with em.

Sales???? Every (firking) weekend. Last weekend the Brick (DFS), Leons (downmarket DFS), Sears (Debenhams, Lewis), The Bay (shabby John Lewis), Best Buys (Dixons) and Future Shop (Currys) all had sales. Next weekend? Probably the same stores with ammended offers.
