CE is what it is but it works for me and obviously thousands more.

Going back to to the actual figures, I would expect costs to be falling further in H2 once the staff payout and redundancy numbers have fallen off.

Lastly, one wonders regarding obvious trolling and a general history of non-contributory posts why people respond to same. (Not a criticism, merely an observation). Personally I find the 'ignore user' feature to be aptly suited for these situations.
