Alec , I am sure anything should be considered m8 and everybody should have their say, all that concerns me, is the numbers of fanciers calling it a day all over the UK. and I don,t want to see fanciers leaving the Fed because they can not afford to pay their way. We need to consider everybody and their circumstances. As I have said before, I can afford the £150, but then again I am in full time employment and am fortunate to be so, especially in this current credit climate. Whatever is decided, I for one will not be falling out with anyone over this, life is too short and this is my hobby which I enjoy very much
