Good on you Pennine Boy!
Dear Pennine Boy,
I tried to negotiate a reduced rate for landing at the Palace Hotel in Torquay a few years ago as I work there regularly but the rather greedy manager thought £50 a time was a reasonable fee for me to glamourise his (much in need of it) Fawlty toweresque hotel.
When I asked he told me there was in fact no fire cover, no ATC and no security, so what exactly was I paying for?
I now go into a private site owned by some friends in the same area for a nominal fee.
Just say no!
If nobody agrees to pay then they will learn.
Greedy BAST*RDS!!
