   A little while ago the B&Q (large dot hardware store in the UK) website became useless as they decided to open it up to third party sellers. The result is searching the website for a product you expect to be able to buy from the local store is now impossible. It seems Tesco has decided to do the same and their website now has a marketplace full of useless listings for products that you certainly can’t get from Tesco, or maybe you can, how would you know?
   Why is this? Do they want to be Amazon? I mean that’s where I’d go if I wanted to look at endless useless listings from people incapable of getting something to me.
