So, I bought a wall mount to stick my telly up on the wall and it comes with M8 and M6 bolts to attach the bracket to the TV. Unfortunately, my TV has M4 holes so I need to get some M4x25 bolts. I look on B&Q's website as they are pretty much the nearest place to me for bits 'n bobs like that - £6.08 for a pack of 10.
I look on Ebay... £1.23 for 10 including delivery AND they're stainless steel (unlike B&Q's).
If only I could get around having to wait for things to arrive from Ebay !!!!

Ahahahahaha.

Emp, how heavy is the TV? I wouldn't get stainless, they are prone to snapping. Especially lower grade stainless.
I hate stainless screws because they are forever snapping off.
I hate B&Q because like all companies these days, their parent company, the Kingfisher group, thinks it is clever to run B&Q, TradePoint and Screwfix, just like Crown and Dulux are the same company, They monopolise the market, cover all their bases, force others out of the market and think people won't notice. They deserve everything that comes to them.
Mind you, their cement is cheap though eh.
Different stock lines and price rigging.
Even Trade Point is different stock to what is on the shelves (And is of better quality), would you believe.
I try and use local electrical wholesalers and builders yards or timber merchants for decent stuff. Screwfix is OK for some stuff, but for the real deal at decent prices, you have to use the wholesalers and builders merchants.
I treat Screwfix and B&Q as a quick stop when I have forgotten to order online, or the wholesaler is 30 miles away as their stuff is equally shit and equally expensive for the proper brand name quality.
For decent weatherproof shed lighting you want something like this:

If people are willing to pay it it's fair.
I'm sure you would like things to cost less but I daresay it's pretty rare to find an establishment that bases their prices on what people want to pay.
