ENTHUSIASTS were in short supply when a store staged a DIY workshop for the over-50s.
The B&Q warehouse, in Sunderland, regularly stages workshops on gardening and house maintenance and thought its first workshop for the over-50s would attract lots of interest.
But no one turned up, leaving store bosses wondering whether North-East over-50s are a DIY-literate generation, or just not interested.
Darren Noble, store manager, said: "This workshop was going to be specifically for the over-50s and about how to use power tools the correct way, but not one person turned up."
