You're very welcome Alex. I enjoy it, it's a pleasure and a distraction and I'm grateful to BAK for suggesting I kicked it off.
Keep them coming, the more the merrier.

A 10 pole plot on our site in North Hertfordshire is £118 per year, no charge for water (even though we do have water).
Two years ago it was £52! >:(

Best estimate of the national rate is now between £4.57 and £5.98 per pole, with the rate most likely to be £5.27 per pole. That really does look to be significanly more expensive than last year's best estimate of £3.55 per pole. If your rate is above £6.75 that puts you in the top quartile so you can feel a bit hard done-by, and anything less than £3.00 per pole and you're in the bottom quartile and are getting a pretty sweet deal.
This is what the league table looks like now.

I've just been given a half plot, which I would think equates to aprox 75 ft. X 20ft. Water is free. For this I pay £37 per year. Next year the fee will go up by 25%.

I have a 10 pole plot on a site run by Brickhill Parish Council in Bedford. It's my second year, and rent has remained at £52 for the year. This includes water; there are no other charges.

Here in North Wales, and considering the shambles the council is making of running our new allotments, we are assuming the rent is unchanged at £25 pa for 300sq metres.
There was a £20 water supplement the first year (until we've worked out how much the water will cost), but we've heard nothing, so that's what they'll get.

rent for the next Year (from 1st Oct 2012) Full plot £48 Half plot £24.50 inclusive of water.
The sad news is they want us to think about self manageing in the future. Which for the big sites I can see working but not for the smaller sites of 3 plots to sites under 100 plots.
I'm the site rep for our site of 21 plots. If anyone has any advice for both the good and bad of this idea I would really like here from you. So please send me your e mails I will be most gratefull. Regards Taurus

10 rods on ours is £36 plus £1 for N&DAC membership (not optional). The £36 includes water charges, but they haven't broken it down so I'm not sure how much this is. They haven't put it up from last year, although the Council is "consulting" on putting it up a lot over the next 5 years. However the increases they are proposing are likely to be unlawful as they are not in line with other civic amenities (can't see them putting up swimming pool charges by 200%!)
