On the plus side, tube prices are falling big time at the merchants. Obviousley not an advantage to the employed amongst us, but good for everyone else, customers included.

Dont forget guys , China was one of the main reasons for the increase in prices early this year. They shut down production for the olympics for 3 months. wait and see what happens now they are starting up again.credit crunch may depict production for a short while.My advise is to stockpile your scrap.

Plumbcentre £39 and £78 on thursday but price has come down 3 times in the past week so maybe down again by monday. Hope so.
What we forget about is rads prob doubled in price over the past few years as well so they should be coming down but bet they wont

It was the Chinese and speculation that caused the ridiculous hike in prices, luckily they are now going down in price. About time!

Thats a big drop since to peak of 119.9 p a few weeks ago!
