    Return fair from Edinburgh (train) is about £240 - yes that's 2nd class. Flight is no much cheaper once you add additional costs at either airport.

    That's a grand a month before you know it.

      A couple of clients ago I was able to charge the end client, that was nice. Oh how I miss those days...

          That’s about the same price per mile as a 3 year old S-Class.

            I was hitting 15k when I was in Switzerland many moons ago, but that was all in.

                The train from Leicester to London was £400 a week.

                That cost me £21k pa travelling without leaving the country However factored this into the daily rate so wasn't out of pocket.

                Didn't last long. I moved to a site 3 miles from where I lived after the first 4 weeks but kept the increase

                Boomed indeed.

                  If I paid 400 quid a week for a train from Leicester to London I’d be expecting Jim’ll Fix It seats, a well stocked wine cellar and attractive hostesses providing favours for gentlemen.

                    They had biscuits?

                    Edit: £341 was the actual cost so not as bad as I though. So only £18k. I could of done it for £202 if I went unwashed masses class but I liked to be able to sit down.
