How are we to blame for it? Is it a case of apathy and simply accepting this state of affairs? I admit that I grumble about it but I'm at a loss to know how to change anything. We need a revolution!

It annoys me too that when you ask an "assistant" in many large stores they look at you as if you are a Martian speaking in a lesser known dialect. Heaven forbid that you should ask about screws or nails in a hardware store. I remember once asking for something in B&Q and being informed by one of the staff that "we don't do nuffink like that" only to discover a whole shelf devoted to the product on doing a tour of the store.

if you know the manufacturer of your product try using google to trak them down and either email them or phone and ask if they can hel you out

they may have some old stock lying around

Alas Chav, according to the packaging Homebase were the manufacturers. It was an "own product"
