    How is it criminal? You do realise prices for just about everything have risen? I don't know the process of manufacturing them but you can say for certainty electricity is involved, the price of the boxes will have gone up, the price of the plastic containers will have gone up, the price of transport has gone up.
    I own a garden centre and the prices we now have to ask for some of the plants is bordering on the ridiculous.
    Pots, printed material, boxes for mail order, couriers, plants for resale, plants to grow on, labels for plants, the list is endless, all increased by 15 to 20%, more in some case and that's without the huge electricity bills we now have to pay. It will be the same for all businesses, large or small.

    Yes, it gives me the hump when people don't understand simple economics. It's got nothing to do with being competitive, a product costs a certain amount to manufacture, those prices have increased, there's a margin you can't go below before you can't pay your bills or the staff.
    Of course your replies are speculation as you don't know any of the costs involved.
