   £180 pa? That's way over the top :-)   
      
   I have full access to everything they have (with the exception of the   
   fold 3 military stuff, but there is little they have that (for me)   
   warrants the extra) and in Nov last year I paid £89.99 for a years full   
   access.   
   I did change my user name and email address so I would be a 'new   
   customer' and took advantage of a special offer link the young man I   
   spoke to about renewal, denied existed when I enquired why a   
   longstanding customer was expected to pay twice the price of a new   
   customer.  It did exist, I used it when I finally lost patience with   
   him.   
      
   I don't mind changing my user name and email now and then (once a year)   
   as I don't have a tree on there and don't store any records. I have a   
   computer with ample storage. I only want access to the records and the   
   facility to save them to my computer.   
      
   and I have saved about half the advertised sub each year for the 15   
   years or so I have had an account with them.
