Not sure how many of you other than [USER=626]@flexi[/USER] and myself who use Axminster but recently they announced the closure of Basingstoke, well now they are closing my local Nuneaton Store, Warwickshire | Axminster Tools totally gutted, but that's two of eight for a relatively large company it doesn't bode well, and whilst I know there is the internet etc. for tooling and experience I think the woodworking pastime/hobby/obsession is better suited to 'real' stores....
I just think it's a shame the way society is going and whilst the internet has been good I think we are running the risk of potentially losing more skills and hobbies if they aren't as visible/accessible...
...gets off soap box
