    Of course you get hit by rip off train charges on one end of it and airport entrance fee (even for taxies) on another.

        £29.50 one way, even at peak hour isn't too bad.

          Honestly scooter, they really do see you coming.
          Because it was 11pm and I was too tired to do anything about it. The Sofitel would be my first choice but they were fully booked. My fault for not knowing you have to plan those trips with military precision when visiting england.

            Air tickets cheaper than trains for sure: £70 standard single to London...

              So let's get this straight. Your rare skills were so much in demand that the client had to get you in from another country, but you had to pay for all the costs and stay in a crap hotel?
              Sounds like you cocked up and had to fix your mistakes at your own expense. What a loser you are.

                Your fault is that you expect to charge your clients top coin yet you want to pay others who provide you with essential services as little as possible.

                  You'll upset Corporal Jones with that sort of talk.

                    How much, £1000 per day presumably?

                    Go on tell me, I want to know how much it would cost me to hire you for one mathematical project I've got in mind.
