I couldn't agree more. I think it must be a general thing for Hobbycraft. We have a store here in Northampton, and it is just the same. Often the shelves are in a terrible mess, and the staff haven't got a clue about any craft.
I agree with everything that has been said. Once again we used to have some lovely needlecraft specialist shops that carried everything you needed, but once Hobbycraft came on the scene they have disappeared.
