Today I found that Homebase stocked the electric stove I wanted for £50 less than anywhere else locally or on the Internet. At my nearest store, in Bath, the staff were helpful (I needed the measurements of several stoves, which weren't displayed on the boxes) and a young man carried the large box to my car and managed to fit it onto the back seat because it was too big to get into the boot. Well done, Homebase. Today you proved to me that big stores can give personal and helpful service and still manage to provide good value, when the presumption nowadays is that shopping on the Internet is cheaper and quicker.
