How delighted I am by the numerous exploiting, grasping businesses which got their fingers burnt over the Millennium Eve rip-off plans.
If such as York Racecourse can reduce their charge for a gala dinner from £100 to £35, it shows how grossly overpriced it was originally.
Perhaps the masses are not quite as stupid as some thought.
If only people would reject excessive demands more often, it would force those in business to be less greedy.
