You just don't see house fires like you used to!

Unless you live in southern California.

They say it never rains there

It doesn't rain for perhaps 8 months of the year.

Then it pours, man it pours


Oh dear, do I have to post the lyrics ?

As opposed to the ones on Devon clifftops costing GBP 150 000?

I think you have your attributes mixed up there but, no matter

a house is an expensive item to replace

Thing that I don't like about Costco, is their an 'anti-riff-raff'
policy on selecting only trade or professional status UK customers. I
don't see evidence of that in their American stores.

Costco are wholesalers. In the UK that means they cannot legally sell
to the 'riff-raff' (your term - which seems to include yourself). They
can only legally sell to retailers, businesses, professionals and
institutions.

I don't mond that, it's the fact that there are so few branches and they
are all in out-of-the-way places that puts me off. I've seen on at
Trafford Park near to the giant Asda which I suppose is convenient for
some, but the others I've seen are in places line Avonmouth (why? the
place is a dump) and the nearest to me is 35 miles away as the crow
files (1h15m by car) and 56 miles by dual cariageway/motorway (59
minutes). That's a lot of fuel to go shopping.

Are they actually any better on price/service than the likes of
Makro/Bookers? I've never found either of those to quibble about
returns.
