Here at kbbreview we have a real thing for a bit of comment, opinion and debate. Whether it's a ten minute diatribe on the woeful state of bathroom and kitchen installation standards or whether it's going to be Claire or Lee who wins the Apprentice, we don't like fence sitters.

(It's clearly going to be Claire, but I prefer Lee - that's what I'm talking about!)

Anyway,  these opinions frequently come out on this blog and they often appear in the magazine. We've had Opinion writers from all sectors of the industry and the analysis from regular columnist Greg Rowe is proving to be very inciteful. In fact, the blog is one of the most popular areas on this website.

But we're never satisfied, no siree, so we're opening up the blog to the wider world - fancy having a go?

We're looking for your opinions and thoughts about all aspects of the kbb industry, whether it's products, design, training, legislation, deliveries - even parking and the price of petrol - we want you to write about it here. All you have to do is write a piece of between 250 and 300 words on anything industry-related you like and email it through it to me and, provided it won't get us sued, we'll put it up.

We particularly want this blog to include opinions of the people on the front line - the retailers. Get your voice heard, this is the forum for you to truly sound off about the parts of this industry that get your goat, and equally praise the parts that make it all worthwhile.

But don't let that put of all you non-retailers out there, we want to hear from all of you too.

And, who knows, if you do a good job we might make some of the contributors into regular columnists.
