Default Scewfix cable missing?

If it possible that they don't stock plain 2.5mm T&E grey reels?

I can only find "harmonised" (the new EU colouring) ones.

Strange...

Local Wickes had many reels of red + black 2.5mm T+E on Saturday. When
quized about harmonised colours the operative looked at me as if I had
just stepped out of a space ship and expressed no understanding of
harmonisation. So I bought 100m.

They have it - item 95337
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...88429&id=18633 - doesn't say
the length - but price would suggest it is 100m
also in white http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...88429&id=95337
(25m reel)

It is cheaper than the harmonised too.

Cheers, I overlooked that one.

Couldn't wait and ended up buying from B&Q instead - £1 extra for the 1.5mm
and £2 extra for the 2.5mm, but as I was not going to go over £45 with my
order than I am still better off.

Wikes in Worcester still have cable in the old colours if anyone is
interested, saw it tonight.
