Sort of back on track, I see Tandy is having yet another sale.

For UK readers, it looks like Tandy is doing a DFS,  

Yes, I noticed the sale, too - too bad there's nothing on sale that I really want to buy! I guess I'll have to wait until the next sale (probably Black Friday, but who knows if they will do in-store deals this years - I imagine they would not want to have tons of people in the store). What does DFS stand for?

you had to ask, didn't you? you just had to ask!       

I don't think anyone really knows what the letters DFS stand for. There are plenty of ideas tho  

DFS is a furniture company which has 'this week only' sales running just about continuously through the year. Their short-term sales never end. Its become a joke in the UK. You have to see their TV adverts and experience them over several years to really understand the humour

I stopped into my local store yesterday because I needed some dye right away. Lots of sale signs throughout the store, but none on the dyes or the other couple of things I was interested in. Leather prices didn’t seem to be reduced all that much. The store had several other customers come and go during the few minutes I spent there though, which is more than I can say for some of my pre-Covid visits.

Since this has strayed so far off the topic of suppliers, I have locked this thread.  If you wish to carry on the discussion about COVID-19, you might go to "All About Us and Off Topic".  It would be nice to keep discussions to the topics the forum is about so it is more valuable to people searching that forum for related information.
