Re: Homebase

When the nearest Homebase to us went Aussie, it was great, a wider range of stuff at better pricing. The consensus was it wasn't as popular, IDK why as I much preferred it. Then back to Homebase and now set to become the Range, could be dangerous as the Wife works a few buildings away !
