100m 1.5 - 27.50 inc
100m 2.5 - 40 inc

are the list prices at my local wholesaler....I get them less than that though as they give me discount.

But the above is a reasonable baseline (note screwfix price is higher)

cable prices are always up n down at the mo (me and my old man own our own electrical wholesaler) but those prices seem about right in comparison to ours  :y

Two weeks ago I paid £17 for 25 metres of 2.5 cable from B&Q!! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I could have saved money if I had bought the 100 metre roll, but for the job I am doing it was just too much! :'( :'(

You could have bought all that lot for a lot less as a "normal" punter at the likes of B&Q, Homebase, etc (and they are blatantly overpriced).

If that's a mate, I sure as s*it wouldn't want to meet your enemies.
