The same sort of people express outrage when a tradesman charges them £100 for half a day's work - "my mate's girlfriend's cousin would do it for a couple of pints" - you know the sort of thing. They have no idea of the costs and complexities of running a business. Mind you, many who do try running a business haven't, hence the number which fail within months.
