Just received the latest special offers and cable-price flyers from BDC.

100m reels, 6242Y (twin & earth):

1.0mm £19.99
1.5mm £23.49
2.5mm £36.99

All plus V.A.T.

It doesn't seem that long ago that 2.5 was selling at less than the current 1.0 price. [Linked Image]

I know we have the hikes in copper prices, but looking at the way prices went during the color-code changeover, is anyone else getting the feeling that the "harmonized" cables were also excuse to raise prices even further?
