True, " sorry mate cant be installed here" !! would be nice after shelling =A3=A3=A3=A3, would it also require planning permission? certainly in some areas
Just had a look at the blurb on the B&Q site " will replace 30% of electricity cost" yea right!! that little thing, I SERIOUSLY doubt it !!!!
In our house it would take 7.2 years to pay for itself and would probably be knackered by then!
Indeed - I was just quoting them as a sort of standard. They're mainly SE based and have the high costs of being located there, so compare well with other locals. I, of course, collect from them and their beauty is I've never caught them out of stock for their catalogue items, and other bits they can usually get by the next day. A far cry from most of the alternatives round here. Other plus point is easy parking at my local branch.
Apparently, it is the metal of choice on the futures market at present. A number of observers are predicting a price crash on it soon. I hope so, as I can only currently give customers a price on items made from brass that holds for three months.

I thought the price had peaked and was on its way down again. As it happens, I bought some cable yesterday, on the basis of which going ex. VAT prices for the low volume DIY buyer seem to be:
- 1.0 mm^2 T&E (BASEC approved) GBP 20.99 per 100 m - 2.5 mm^2 ditto GBP 37.99 per 100 m
That's from QVS.
They saw you coming. Last time I bought 1mm TC&E should be about £10 for 100m.
If I knew what '1mm TC&E' was I'd say check the current price. It's given elsewhere in this thread.
Thats why i turned on my heels and went to B&Q
The message from Andy Hall contains these words:
One presumes that there is still a healthy profit at 65% discount so the base cost would be at the most £33 and most probably much lower. So the mark-up to £100 is in excess of 300%. Makes even pub spirits seem cheap. :-)

I suspect that quite a bit of what Home Depot (UK) Ltd sells is at similarly high margins.
