  • Paul Gibbons, 63, paid the British store Wickes $30,000 for a "high-quality" kitchen.
  • But after being left unsatisfied with the job, he drove a tank-like self-propelled gun to the store.

A customer who has been in a dispute with the British DIY store Wickes over a kitchen redesign for the last 10 months has taken his battle with the retailer to a more literal level.

Paul Gibbons, 63, parked a tank-like Cold War-era self-propelled gun vehicle outside a branch of the store in the southern English town of Basingstoke this week in protest over kitchen work carried out by Wickes that he says was "poor quality."
