    Hang on you've spent 1 year in grotty parts of California and all you've got is 2 nights free.

    I'm still using holiday inn points from the last time I was a permie. Carefully managed I've probably still got another 5 weekends to go and I only stayed away 30 nights in total....

        Wouldn't have you been better off contracting and stockpiling oodles of cash that you could spend on whatever you liked?
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Why spend it when you can get it for nothing.

                If it's nothing why have you been whining about it so much?

                  It's not nothing though.

                  You've had to spend all the flying time and staying in hotels. You've had to travel to the wrong airport, and whinge about the job. You've had to shop in Tesco. You've still had to pay APD for your "free" flights.

                    Exactly. I'd rather go on holiday in a tent in my garden in December.

                      Yet you claim to be rich. Surely you use Ocado and home delivery?
