I should add that all were 'plus VAT' and the rates may have changed from when I gathered the data in the service provider tender (assume prices have gone up not down).

The most expensive shown may thus not be the most expensive in practice. I would note that the actual amounts paid were rarely these. There were always 'extras' to account for so only by adding up two or three years worth of real invoices can you get close to the real cost of running a 22 or 44 in the rela world (the Robinson website figures are WAY off.
