At the moment, I probably see a SP once every two or three weeks, depending on circumstances. I am generally around the west midlands, north west and North Wales.
The majority of SPs in Wales have been decent, at least from my perspective. Certain no issues. It really does depend on what you're looking for. It seems there's less 'boutique' options up there.. but still some talent.
I find 'bait and switch' annoying. This seems quite common in North Wales. I think 8/10 SPs i've seen have been that. They never seem to look like their photos, although there are exceptions.
