Just because it's not against the rules...

...doesn't make it right!

As you can see from the picture (click on it to read it in full) I have had a - very prompt - reply from the SPL.

In the letter, Lex Gold stated that the 5% charge "is in compliance with the SPL rules". I will shortly be penning another letter to Mr Gold as he obviously doesn't realise that even although no rules have been broken, this charge is grossly unfair and perhaps the rules should be changed to close the loophole that allowed the plans for this charge to be brought about in the first place.

As you will also see from the letter, Mr Gold sent copies to the same four people whom I had also contacted regarding the charge. I have yet to hear back from any of those individuals but will keep you all updated if and when they do.
