  • We received ours yesterday (Monday), and it's £902.74 for the year. I pay it by Direct Debit, through my Bank Account, and it will cost £92.74, and then £90.00 after that for 9 months. It's Band A.

    And we live in the Midlands, near to Birmingham.

    My house is about that too, for Band A, in the Midlands, near to Birmingham..

    Are you from Wolverhampton???:rotfl:

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
  • Ours has gone up by £5 a month over 10 months. *sighs* Oh well.

    I got mine last week and its gone up by £3 a month. They want the first payment by 7th April so have to start paying a bit each week from now so they have the whole instalment amount by that time. :rolleyes:

  • Ours (North Hampshire) came yesterday, and its gone up by £6 a month :rolleyes:

    Its almost £1300 a year - £129 a month :mad:

    I had a minor panic yesterday, as I was checking my bank statements and realised they hadn't taken a payment for Feb. It was a while later I remembered its paid over 10 months, not 12 *doh!* :o
    LBM November 2005: approx £32K :eek:
