I think it is great and have paid my £45 quid. Less than a pound a week is a bargain.

I've been overruled by Mrs Numbers who thinks it's a great idea. Okay, maybe. But it's not such a great Year 1 bargain.

It's normally £60 for a year. It's only £45 for the first year. But read the website and you'll see the first "year" runs from June (let's call it 1st June) to 31st March 2017. So a 25% discount off the price, and a 17% discount off the year - 10 months, not 12!

One year for £60 = £1.15/week
10 months for £45 = £0.96/week

Yes, it's a saving, but it's not the £0.87/week that it appears to be at first glance - and even that is assuming that the "year" starts on 1st June. The website is a bit vague. If it doesn't kick off till the end of June, then the "discount" entirely disappears! Thumbdown

"Sign up now and get nine months for the price of nine!"
