thanks smashbox. i was in B&Q Athlone over the Easter whilst on hols from London. It would appear that there is a substantial difference in prices between B&Q in the UK and Ireland.
anyway, we have an appointment with our local B&Q tomorrow evening to purchase the classic oak kitchen from the cooke & lewis range for our main kitchen and utility room in our new build in the Midlands. we are sending over a small mountain of stuff to ireland in a few months and already we have made huge savings even after the cost of the removal service.
It just shows the power of advertising and perception. I was quite surprised to find that Atlantic was cheaper with a couple of items that I bought in B&Q.
For pure badness, because there was a lot of extra hassle involved, I returned the items to B&Q, obtained a refund, and bought the items in Atlantic.

I enjoy shopping in B&Q but I agree that Atlantic are very good in some areas. Their Blackpool store in Cork is a fine outlet and they have a wide range of household items also.
There is a promotion with I believe, Denny Sausages where you get 15% off. It states on the ticket that it can be used on top of current inhouse promotions. However I talked to customer service and they refused to add uo the Denny deal of 15% with the current May deal of 10% off. They claimed that the May deal was NOT a promotion!
