Hobbs or Tacho?

How many of you object to paying on the Hobbs? It makes you rush through checks whilst watching the hobbs spin and even waiting for the pitot to heat up cost you money! I think the farest way is tacho or airborn, what say you Gents?
PS: i was once stuck at Elstree international, when the ground controler(a/g to the CAA) kept me waiting at the hold for 20 MINUTES Whilst Mr Montclare came in a twin! The PA 32 costs £3:00/min so i wasnt best pleased. Before you say i was entitled to go on my discretion, i want to go back as a few friends of mine live very close to the airfield and cheesing them off wont look good on my CV, like they wont accept you back in
Your thoughts please
