Afternoon.
Just returned from the 90mile round trip to the B&Q warehouse in Chester. I was after an 8x4 sheet of 18mm MDF that was to be cut into 4, 120x60 sheets, thus saving £26 on buying the 4 separate 120 x 60 sheets that they sell. I don't have the room to cut 8x4 sheets, so I do need them pre-cut.
"Oh no, sir. We don't cut MDF instore any more. Health & Safety. The dust causes cancer". :-s
No mention of this on their website. :evil:
Does anyone know if this is a 'Shed-Wide' (B&Q, Homebase, Wickes, Focus...) ban on MDF cutting?
There are a couple of Builders Merchants nearby, but they seem to have sophisticated 'DIYer detection devices' at the door which activates 'Condescending Prick Mode' in their staff :roll: so I'd rather give them a miss if at all possible.
Cheers.
