I quoted the only fare that National Rail quoted to me. They didn't
offer any advance purchase or any other fare at all.

Yes they did. I've just checked Wednesday April 27th on National
Rail:

The NR planner - ojp.nationalrail.co.uk - is quoting me GBP28.50 for the
0615 for Wednesday April 27 (and for the 0700, while the 0800 is
GBP36.50).

I'd like to believe that NR rigs their website so that objectionable
dickheads get offered higher fares than everyone else, which helps keep
rail travel pleasant for the majority.

But I think it's more likely that you're too dim to work it properly.
