Bargain tort table at B&Q

Alexanders_mummy · 19-08-2008, 10:44 PM

Hi all i was at my local B&Q today and saw the perfect tort table, it was one of the things they store the garden rocks in and it was empty so i asked the guy working if they would sell it to me for my torts he said they would only if they had more then 1 in store, they did so i got my tort table for the bargen price of £1.00!!!! just thought id post as the guy said other stores may sell theirs (if your cheeky enough to ask) he didnt know what they would charge though any way here is a pic!

it is 3.5ft x3.5ft square i think it will be ok to start with once i have sanded it down and lined it etc

I saw these at my local B&Q in Ellesmere Port and asked about purchasing 1 for my tortoise but the grumpy old git i asked grunted "No not for sale" an legged it before i had a chance to question him. Might ask again next time i am instore but will try to pick a more customer friendy person.

i Definitely would the guy i asked initially said he didnt think it was for sale i juat said ohh are you sure that would be perfect for me etc etc then i just hang around for a few mins till he came back, he said that as they had another the manager would sell me that one, takeing it apart in the b&q carpark and strapping the pallett to the roof took over an hour and nearly got me a devorice though lol
