Went to Plumbase this week for a few things. Plumbase is the only plumbers merchants in that town.
1 x 22mm equal compression tee.
- That's £11.40 plus VAT
- I only need 1, not a pack of 5
- That price IS for one
- What about trade discount?
- That IS with discount.
Gotta be taking the "p". £11.40 plus VAT for a single 22mm equal tee. They were going to charge me £7.10 plus VAT for a single solder-in type bleed cap.
Went to the builders merchants opposite and they had 3 plumbers vans outside so people are obviously going there instead, and a good range of fittings they had just started stocking. Said they were doing a roaring trade in plumbing stuff and I had to queue to get served. I could have had 4 22mm equal tees plus some change left over for the price Plumbase were going to charge for one, and I got a pack of 10 bleed screws for only £2 more than Plumbase were going to charge me for a single one!
