B&Q


One of my workmates just sent me this.  It supposedly a real complaint letter to B&Q:


Dear Sir/Madam


My congratulations to you on getting a yacht to leave the UK on 28th November 2004, sail 27,354 miles around the world and arrive back 72 days later.


Could you please let me know when the kitchen I ordered 96 days ago will be arriving from your warehouse 13 miles away?


Yours Sincerely,

Nice.


How does one order a full, proper kitchen?

So when you order a kitchen, via a flat pack of some sort, does that include the flooring and light fixtures and stove, etc...?

No, you generally buy the cabinets flat pack (to save money) and then buy the cooker/dishwasher/washing machine/fridge/freezer to fit in.


 


You can have a custom made kitchen if you like, but it'll cost ya.

Yeah that was one thing that surprised me when my sister moved to Germany. Here, you leave the kitchen intact. There, the prior owners took the cabinets with them when they moved.

Now we don't normally take the kitchen units when we move.  Especially if they were bought in a flat pack.  My dad put together his kitchen from a flat-pack.  It's a big kitchen.  Unfortunately there are one or two minor issues with door levelling and sticky drawers that were never resolved... even 10 years later!

Maybe just a German thing then? I know my sister's husband thought we were a little nuts when we were surprised that the kitchen had no cabinets in it.


But heck, what I know about moving to another country could fit in a thimble

Er, yeah. I'd be bloody upset if I bought a house and someone ripped out the cabinets!
