[John j]

Apparently the wholesale price of timber has come down considerably, as expected it's just not being passed on.

I don't need to hear that

Its hard enough getting a cuppa and a biscuit out of the c**ts now!

[Cockney1]

How else are they gonna get all that grant money back. Lol

 

[BryanJ]

I may have to start rationing soon, very limited stock and been advised raw material shortage up to May. If you use a lot of render masking tape you may want to stock up.

LOL

a bag of finish has barely gone up a fiver over last 25 years.....again how cheap do you want it?

Maybe but the size of the bag has gone down to fun size.

That’s because to stop all the hernias and bad backs
Where there is blame there’s a claim.
When I started it was all in 1 cwt bags.

The browning bags were bad news carrying them upstairs on terraced houses especially for a skinny 16 year old lad.

It never went up to a pound, it shot straight pass it,
Back in the day, I was pleased to have a car that the petrol gauge was higher than the temperature gauge.
The main reason I change my car was rust, not the end of a lease deal.

[BryanJ]

The only advantage of material shortage, there is a plastering labour shortage.
Do half the work for twice the price.

We’re paying near double for Timber at the mo 18 months ago we were paying £1.25 for 4/2 now it’s near £2.40 a meter things have gone up a fair bit not everything but a lot of stuff has and the quality is of gear is s**t

Sorry I was referring to bathroom mats, tiles,adhesives,grout and plumbing consumables ...I know timber has flown up in price

 

[tapit]

Copper has near doubled in price in 12 months but the rest of that comment I'd take with a pinch of salt.

Bath salts nearly tripled in price too.
