Thanks for that. Really helpful. Do you know what a Quanto Range Accrual Swap is? No? you must be an idiot......

Callable or Capped?

NB: I haven't a clue what I'm talking about and they may well be the same thing!

Oil: a thick liquid
Filled: full of the stated thing (in this case oil, stay with me.)
radiator: a device for heating a room, building, etc,

Now tell me my good man, of a time in my life i will need to know whatever you posted up there?

And you're quite right, i am an idiot

B&Q's way of laying things out is baffling at times, without even getting started on the variation between branches.

The oil-filled radiators are often with insulation products, but then they can be almost anywhere.

My favourite B&Q game is "hunt the 5L pots of PVA glue". You know, the ones that look like this:



They can quite literally be anywhere. I wouldn't be surprised to find it in the cafe one day.

I dropped into a large B&Q this morning looking for a small oil-filled radiator, the kind used mainly for frost protection in sheds etc. No rockets, no science, just a radiator. About £25. How hard can it be?

Go back and ask for a tubular heater

Coincidentally I need to top up the oil filled towel radiator - ant ideas where / what type of oiI can get. Prob only needs half a litre.

Makes you think of a nice little test that could be tried on each branch. You turn up with a list of 10 various items, and the branch which brings them all to you the quickest wins a prize. And their photo in the company magazine, oh yes. Team bonding but much more practical (and cheaper) than sending them up Snowdon to skin rabbits.
