Thank you Screwfix

i need some bits and pieces for some DIY and I cant locate some of my regular tools and left most of the paints, varnishes, fillers, tubesofstuff all behind.  There isnt  DIY shed on Orkney - there are the 'proper'  stores that do Agricultural equipment, fencing supplies, plumbing things and the rest, principally for the  professionals  farmer, fencers, builders etc. They do a smaller selections of the DIY-type stuff. 
There almost certainly are  stores that will do what i want, but i havent foud them yet .

So I went online.
Wickes are straightforward about  it ( you have to hunt  bit, but the information
is there) , and they won't deliver to KW postcodes .


But Homebase only tell you once you've tried to checkout.

and B&Q are the worst of the lot.
This is on the front page of the website
but come the checkout they say they don't deliver here.

Best of the lot is Screwfix  


 So it took a day longer , but the postie brought the box , with the stuff i ordered in it.
Guess who  I'll be buying from next time ?
