Default tile prices

Is it my imagination, but have tile prices taken an enormous leap
lately?

What were average cheapish tiles at £8 a square metre now seem to cost
more like £30.

Can we expect them to drop as DIY spring fever kicks off?

Lots there around the 8-9 quid mark.

Can't answer for what B&Q/Homebase/etal are doing though

Cheers

Poundland have some generic white tiles at a pound for 4... looks like about
4 pounds/m^2. I doubt they'd have enough in one shop for a bathroom though
