    Using this we are firmly slap in the middle of Band B. However, we pay Band C as do all our neighbours. Therefore presumably there is no point trying to challenge anything!! :(
    Why? The whole street may be banded wrong. Mine is smack bang in the middle too but it was originally a band C and I appealed it to band B. very easy to do.

    It put me in band D - I'm actually in band C.

    mine's bang on!
    You may walk and you may run
    You leave your footprints all around the sun
    And every time the storm and the soul wars come
    You just keep on walking

    We are a D, and are slap bang in the middle of it so no hope of changing to a C. Worked fine for me.

    It says E, but we're paying C!! Should I tell? :p
    Okay, I can't remember the month it was bought, later in the year, it changes to D, but still one out.
