I'll miss Wilko. It was good (if not cheap) for all manner of DIY-y things. :(

"I am going to wilkinsons, the hardware and homeware store retail chain situated on the high street in several hundred towns, not to be confused with Wilkins and Sons, the essex jam company, who also operate some tea rooms in select Essex locations. Also I am going to wilkinsons to buy Jam. And some tea. And a room. Also some razors (gillette)."
