Looks like a clerical error which if they can they should resolve. Otherwise he'll just have to live with it. As he is stupid enough to live 2hrs drive from work and its only an extra five minutes...he's not that greatly inconvenienced.

You will have to share the back bedroom with Mrs EO's relatives though. Her three neices are quite sensible though, despite what people say about blondes, and they are good fun despite their illnesses. Being diagnosed with rampant nymphomania cant be much fun for any 18, 19 or 20 year old
If you can let me know by 12 noon, I will organise it
I was very close to meeting up with the bunny boiler from Wakefield, so just as well I think!!

Originally posted by Wilmslow View PostYes, basically, as my local airport is 3 miles away. It also means I need to leave home at 5am and not back until 8pm. Too much for a day. I am normally leaving home at 6 and back by 4.

Do you fly from Manchester often? If not you are aware that it takes hours to get through passport control. Personally that 5am should be 4am.
I clearly stated on the form, but the PA did not read the form. So, I did all I should be doing to get correctly booked.
Calling them now to change. £150 is not enough to justify an additional 7 non billable hours to a working day!!

Originally posted by Wilmslow View PostNo, as the airport booked is 5 miles from the office, but the wrong side so a 2.5 hour journey home during M62 rush hour. Also means that they wll not stump for the hotel, so the only way to save me the hassle nd hotel cost is to get the firm to rectify their problem.
