I've just had to do some (quite minor) running repairs on our outdoor
MDPE pipework that supplies the waterers in our fields.
Prices for even very simple MPPE accessories seem to have gone up a
huge amount.
For example this:-
https://www.toolstation.com/mdpe-wall-plate-elbow/p90570
I have found some lower prices but the bulk of things at both Screwfix
and Toolstation seem to be much higher than they used to be and also
seem very expensive for relatively simple things. As I said I have
found things a bit cheaper from some eBay and Amazon sellers but
everywhere seems expensive for MDPE fittings.
Has some componenent part got very expensive or is some sort of
plastic involved very expensive, or what?

The financial policies of the government are pushing up interest rates via the (falling) pricing of long-term bonds, which in turn has led to the £ falling in value to a two-year low. The introduction of increases in NI and MLW in April are causing serious rethinking among SMEs. Buy now, things
will only get more expensive?

Although be sure to search for "wallplate" and not "wall plate" or you'll only get these<ouch>:

Yes, weird isn't it, those prices for the brass and blue plastic ones
are crazy!
