I agree, but the entirely avoidable error wasn't changing the T&Cs (completely within their rights). The error was then telling us all that they simply want to bring it in line with LNF, but then being entirely incapable of delivering on that.

IMO they should have just let BRG run until 1 August - even starving it of resource if they must cut costs somewhere - then switch over to LNF once SPG fundamentally ceases to exist.
