Landing fees query

My wallet has just squeaked; the moths are beginning to flutter around in it now.

After a lesson this afternoon I noticed that the landing fee at Edinburgh has been upped to 25 quid. Is this what it is like at other fairly major airports in the UK that accept GA traffic? Any particular reason why? Whilst I understand the problems of fitting in light aircraft with commercial traffic, I wonder what good this will do, apart from keeping the "minnows" away. Or maybe just a crass money-making exercise for the BAA?

I hate to think what the landing fees are for a Boeing 757.
