BrokerG,
I'd also like to point out to people the following statistic:
The average outstanding credit card debt in the UK (i.e. money people have borrowed but obviously cannot afford to pay back) is now over £1,500. At a typical APR of 14%, it costs the average UK card holder around £210p.a. in interest payments alone. Hence, whilst "normal" credit cards are issued for "free", the average person ends up paying over £4 a week in costs.
Like most things, you get what you pay for.
There is an important conference call tonight, so hopefully I will be able to give some more details tomorrow.
