Was looking for help to get some earth/ copper wiring...for an electrical socket. The gentleman at the desk was so helpful. He knew exactly what I needed and cut me a piece of wire. He did this at no cost because of the small amount I required. There is one thing for sure, they will be getting my custom from now on! Thank you 😊
