Made up x2 c/c toilets and basins ready to fit in parish hall Men/Womens, few hours each night. Placed out of the way in the corner. Came back following day, went to move the toilet in the ladies, lifted the lid and it looked like the log flume in there!
 
Do that to us, and we will deliver it to your next job. Still steamin' :)

I've often wondered what would happen if I actually did turd one out in the display toilets in the merchants. Now I know.

I still think it would be funny to do though. I'm not sure the sales staff would know quite how to react to be honest.

You could then ask if they had a bidet on display you could also try....product evaluation.

Can I suggest that you try it out at our Petersfield branch?

"Big Paul" has retired from the Iron man circuit, and it's been a while since he last towed a double-decker with his teeth, but I reckon he's still capable of shoving a full size WC pan (complete with steaming content) down a human throat.

Of course, I may be wrong. Bless the scientific method, that tests these things...
 
Dont worry, I'm not really going to do that. I've just realised this isn't in the arms so for the benefit of any potential customers I don't make a habit of defecating in display loos in shops.

No more beer for me tonight!

Good and bad from my local PC, two guys that work there.....one the manager top bloke and very helpful, the other seems a sandwich short!
If I go in and the numpty is on, you can see his lips start to mouth we haven't got that before I even ask for what I need!!??!
If the manager is on he will do his best to find it or get it in for the next day!!

It's also a bathroom showroom so plenty of display bogs to choose from if you're caught short :001_9898:
 
most merchants i deal with are ok, tho they will give you a good price to get you to open an account and then a month or so later the price will rise on most things unless you constantly push.

Plenty of items are cheaper in screwfix or even cheaper on ebay if you can wait for them. honeywell 3 port valve is a very good example. I dont know what ray knocks them out for but the merchants by me are mega expensive.

That's the good thing about having cash accounts you can keep an eye on it.
 
My 2 worst as they were both as bad were plumbcenter and pts in Gloucester. Parts not turning up loads of damaged bit delivered and poor staff who basically couldn't care less.

Generally speaking though I find the bigger the branch the more the problems. My old local plumbcenter and pts were brilliant (had a problem with plumb once and that was the manager) they were only small branches and didn't just go for the big companies as there wasn't many.

You will always have problems it is just how they deal with them. I had a problem with a Williams order (3 problems on 1 order actually) and had to go to plumbcenter to get me out of trouble and have started using them a lot more now as it is easier for a company to solve a problem when they are 20mins away rather than 4-5 hours.
 
Plumcenter is hit and miss tbh it depends who's on the counter if the manager is about then no problem but the counter staff don't care if they sell anything or not I got quoted £200 more for a cylinder than at another merchant and I hadn't an account with them.

plumb/parts center plympton plymouth ,

staff are completely inept parts are always ordered wrong because they can't be bothered to do their job properly .
plumbing section just the same complete idiots.

the only reasons this branch stays open is because its on main road and large contractors use them
 
PlumbCenter.

Staffed almost exclusively by arrogant ****s. Never, ever go in there now.
