[edit] Merge with Kingfisher?

I think if you want to merge Screwfix in with Kingfisher then you would have to do the same with B&Q as they both belong to the same group. Be very careful of this logic though as that means when Mars or unilever etc take over other brands within a group to be consistent you will have to do the same so goodbye to Dr Pepper etc. Taking it a step further U2 are part of island records. Will you then roll up all Island Artists under one heading? In other words Screwfix, B&Q, U2, Dr Pepper etc are seperate entities that deserve their own entries. The Wiki should not seek to classify and group entries. That should be a principle.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.105.173.247 (talk) 18:54, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First Trade Counter

Technically, the first Screwfix 'trade counter' in Yeovil was the old shop tacked on the side of the Houndstone warehouse. The shop was moved to the present site at Oxford Road (Pen Mill) in 2005 before the warehouse was demolished and was referred to thereafter as a Trade Counter.

Perhaps someone could Wikify that info and edit the page accordingly?

[edit] New to editing--don't wanna screw up, but this looks fishy. . .

Steve Willett (Managing Director), John Gill (Financial Director), John Colley (Commercial Director),Dave Lowther (Operations Director), John Mewett (Marketing Director), Graham Bell (Trade Counters Director), Guy Eccles (HR Director), Charles Okafur (Angry Sales assistant), BOB Warren (General TWAT), Matt Margerine (On the fast-track to NOWHERE), Professer C W(Newbie), Elliott and Gemma Manzie (the short blonde couple)

and of course, our favourite JEFFO

Some of these titles are a bit ODD. Now, I'm in the US, and UK job titles might vary a bit, but someone might want to edit this for accuracy. Steamcorners (talk) 13:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
