£1.50 for a tube replacement ? Sounds like a nice deal to me.
Personally I prefer to do the repair myself as it means that I don't have to be bikeless for a day.
Which reminds me; I should really add a set of latex gloves to the toolset I carry with me when I'm cycling. Getting oil off your hands is a right pain and even if you use what could best be described as "gritty" soap, you'll still have oil left on your hands after cleaning them off.
