I never suggested running power cables in blue pipe - the OP said he was running armoured for power,

Blue pipe is intended for water. There are numerous other pipe types
around that are the appropriate colours for communications services.


But the blue stuff is probably much more readily available, and probably cheaper in DIY quantities,
therefore it would be entirely reasonable and appropriate to use it in this circumstance.

Neither of those reasons is an appropriate one for using something
inappropriate for the job - it doesn't matter how cheap it is.
