When you are mainly doing domestics faced with a race to the bottom on quotes then they often work out the cheapest option.. compared to rexel cef demans etc...I'm stunned and shocked that anyone that call's themselves a professional tradesman goes to Screwfix for materials
The one they took down will be out front of shop later in the box from replacement with a managers special sticker on it... no doubt some poor soul will buy it...Probably a LAP fitting stopped working!
I think thats what you meant.Probably the 6th LAP fitting that never worked!

Reminds me of the old joke, "how do you get 4 lesbians on to a bar stool"2 blokes, 1 set of step ladders??...
OK, please explain. Ran out of 2.5mm a bit ago, so scoured everywhere for the best deal. Usually use TLC, but their prices have gone up, along with most others. All the usual outlets round here were expensive, even asked my local Denman's for a deal if I bought 1000 metres - not interested. Guess who was cheapest? And its Prysmian as well, just like the others. So does a "professional Tradesman" think it's cool to pay through the nose then? I think some of you guys are just snobs to be honest. I questioned the guy in Denman's just yesterday after he asked where I got my last lot of 2.5, and he said "Oh yeah Screwfix just can't be beat at the moment, we can't match them"I'm stunned and shocked that anyone that call's themselves a professional tradesman goes to Screwfix for materials
Partly tongue in cheek comment. Partly not. They sell some products I would use. But not at the prices I would pay. Much prefer my local independent wholesaler.OK, please explain.

I can get T&E cheaper than Screwfix. I don't like the Prysmain cable one bit either, it's a PITA to first fix and a total PITA to second fix.
Looking at Electricfix current prices, I got 1.5 T&E from CEF for £1.50+VAT less per 100m, and 2.5 T&E for £2.66+VAT less per 100m. And any cable outside of that Electricfix prices are a mile out.
I use Electricfix for Safety boots and a couple of other bits. After that they are full of poor quality materials at not great prices, or some products I would use but they charge silly prices. £3.33+VAT for a BG MCB? Seriously???
