Post £20 to land at Blackpool!

Am I being ripped off?
Blackpool's web site proudly advertises that they are the only airfield in the north to reduce landing fees by 50% for wx diversions. No mention of the majority who don't charge at all. The Blackpool landing fee for under-a-tonne light aircraft is now £14 and what they don't tell you is that if you don't get airborne again within 2 hours, there's another fiver for 'parking'.
Any users of Blackpool care to support them? (Incidentally, there's no mention of parking fees on the web site, in Pooleys/AFE and they appear not to charge you at the time - I got an invoice for the parking fee in the post a fortnight later.!
