David,
Having used the CAA charts (frequently) and US/ Irish/ French etc on trips, I have to say for day to day flying from my home base give me a laminate chart any day. I have learnt to draw on it without covering up what I need to read underneath (just use super-fine permanent OHP pens). The lines stay on for the flight, but then with a bit of spirits (I use nail polish remover) I've got a clean chart read to go somewhere else.
As far as version control goes, I put the old one in the cupboard/ bin when I get the new one- not too tough?
I guess for one off use, it may seem o.t.p. to laminate it, so maybe the CAA
could offer both, but don't take the laminate one away from me please
