I guess that is the choice, pay more, which the british public don't appear to want to, to get what you want or go to the lowest service at the lowest price.
That's the problem with this country. We obviously want good service, but we are not happy to pay for it. That's not specifically a rant against the consumer though. That "pay the least possible" attitude is running through our economy, right from the consumer to the largest companies. It is an attitude that, I think, will ultimately cause us a *lot* of problems.
