Anyway! I thought I would share my thoughts and I realize that it was ready planed wood... But planing is not so difficult to do. But na! Not at that price!
BUT it was not all bad. We did get everything else on my Mums list while shopping there including two items we did not expect them to sell. A toilet brush (Sadly and oddly, no toilet brush holders, and a large pack of toilet rolls. (Anyone tell them the covid epidemic run on toilet rolls is over?
Did ask my Mum why she bought the toilet brush with no holder and she said it was cheap in a sale. Think she paid about a pound and it has a sleek metal handle too!))But yes. Wood is waaay overpriced and I believe it is due to modern climate regulations as a neighbour where I used to live wanted to fell a few trees in his few acres of forest near their house to stop trees falling across the lane, and he had to go round his land and account for every shingle tree and where it was on a plan and which ones he wanted to fell due to the stupid regulations and it cost him a fair bit to do this. No wonder our wood prices are high. Soon one will.have to geta tree vet out to inject an anistehtic into every tree before cutting incase they feel pain whist being cut... And first employ an "Expert" insect specialist out to remove every insect from each tree incase they get hurt when the tree is cut...
Actually, at just less than ten pound for that piece of wood, I seems like one has paid fo all of that if one buys! Stupid! Rant over!
