your staying in a B&B??

What the hell... where is this car?

Train to ABZ, Flight to where?

I thought you'd just get the car and drive home

It sounds like a long solution to a short problem but in my head it made for the best option.

Flight was £104, Train was £32. B&B's £20. Time scales - 2hrs on train to Deen & 40 mins to Humberside by plane.

I couldnt talk anyone into giving me a lift down as its mid week & a 12hr constant drive there & back.

Train would get me into Hull with about 6 changes & about 6hrs+ & the costs would be similar to flying.

All adds up in my perverted mind!!

Where's the green on Eck?We knew Ian Grieve and Vauxhall at Earls Gate both have white ones. He looked at them, but they both had higher mileage than ours and were lots £'s more expensive.


Both of them are at the Subaru garage in camelon. I noticed them yesterday

12hrs total, 6hrs there, 6hrs back. Long drive for someone to do me a favour if I could have found someone interested & then we would have had to leave at silly o'clock to get here during banking hours.

This way seems the best. £150 isnt a lot to get down here.

Could of hitchhiked I s'pose
