Anyway, back to the main thread: people in the UK pay 60p (75c) per day standing charge, whereas those in Bermuda (notoriously expensive) pay 76c. In The Villages, SECO charges me $1.15 per day. That's a 50% uplift on the UK and Bermuda. Hmmm?
Means nothing unless we also know the number of poles in each location
