New catalogue compared with previous shows an increase of 25% on bulk
screws and fixings. It's not SF's fault - with the £ in freefall,
anything
that's made abroad is rocketing in price.

Against what currency? The pound has not dropped that much against the US
dollar.

If the dollar is now at $1.60 to the pound and was near enough $2 a
year ago, then that's a 20% drop isn't it, which is near enough the
price change ?


It is actually around 12% diference.
