2 pounds 50 pence per pack, and the pack is a triple roll 200mm thick :shock:

At that price, I think it might be stolen :lol:

no it's subsidised by US.
As I understand it 'the state', with our money subsidise b&q etc to sell insulation on the cheap. Not good for anyone's business (except b&q etc).

I meant merchants, rather than fitters.
It is the bias in subsidised supply that's the problem for any merchant that stocks & sells insulation.
Imagine if the state (with our money) decided to subsidise your competitor and not you? Then you wouldn't be seeing much business.
