It's reminded why the rates in London are so high.

I think you'll find that's typical of Hemel. And plenty of other places around London. St Albans would have been a slightly better choice.Originally posted by MrMarkyMark View PostAnd people conversely complain we don't ever communicate down here.

Indeed. The work in London is easier than rest of the country. Its commuting that makes the rates higher.Originally posted by BigRed View PostTook the family to the Harry Potter studio tour last weekend.
