We visited this garden centre just once last year. We wish it was a little closer to where we live,…read moreas it is wonderful. They have a great selection of plants. We went specifically to get a plum tree. We got a lovely shaped specimen and were given good advice about planting and pruning. The chap we were speaking to also recommended a couple of jasmines and we bought a few annuals too. He kindly tied up the tree and helped us into the car with it. The creepers and tree have really taken hold in our garden, thanks to the good advice, and are growing nicely this year. We're hoping to make another trip out to Thompsons later this summer.

Loitered around Homebase and discovered their fantastic sales on their lamps. They have an awesome…read moresale going on. Too bad I couldn't decide on which table lamp to buy because I was in awe. Too many decisions at awesome prices. My point of business was to reserve and collect an air conditioning unit. On the website they offered 15% off that day, although I was not able to add the air conditioning unit to my cart and capitalize on the 15% deal, I was quite disappointed. I explained my troubles to the customer service rep as I tried to buy it online and pick it up, instead I reserved and collected. The customer sales rep honored the 15% discount and I walked out saving over £30. I did really like the service I received. When I went to reserve and collect I was told from the website to pick it up the next day. I didn't want to wait so I called them, a guy who I spoke with located my item and placed it on hold for me and it was ready for pick up when I arrived. I was very pleased with my overall transaction. Now, I am uncertain if I will be keeping the £289 air conditioning unit due to the efficacy of the unit and if I return it, I will then be putting Homebase's customer services skills once again to the test.
