UK: Printing, who do you use?

I've been reading this forum for a while and have not heard much
talk about what people do for hard copies of images.

I've tried printing myself (Canon S9000 inkjet), but it seems to
cost a lot due to the high cost of paper and especially inks.
Therefore I thought I would try sending them away. I was
recommended a company called ProAm Imaging (www.proamimaging.com)
and so sent off a CD with some pictures from a friends wedding.

I downloaded their Agfa printer profile and converted my images
prior to sending. In order to keep their costs down (e.g. 20p for
a 7"x5"), ProAm do no tweaks to the levels etc just print them
directly, they expect the photographer to have done the processing
already. I was really pleased with the results as they came back
exactly as they appeared on the screen (maybe dumb luck!). They
also came back quickly and well packaged.

I've searched the web for other companies that do a similar service
for that sort of money but can't find any. Does anyone else know
of similar companies (apart from Jessops!) and what did they think
of the results?
