I’m not usually one for posting warnings about potential scams but I had a close call yesterday. I walked into B&Q hardware store at lunchtime and some old guy dressed in a black shirt with an orange apron on, asked me if I wanted decking??? Fortunately, I got the first punch in and sorted the bastard out. Those less suspecting might not be so lucky. Pass this warning on. ---

That’s funny; the same thing happened to me when I walked into CarpetRight - the guy was like “You looking for flooring?”. I ran away screaming like a girl. ---
