How can people travel and live with those prices?
Is that first class?
Yes but Ā£400 standard, and you often donāt get a seat.
Thatās mental.
I donāt know. I was out running with Ben from next door this morning who said heād just tried to recruit someone from the Manchester office to the London team. He offered him a 22k pay rise. He said he could stay working remotely in Manchester and just go to London when needed Your man declined as it wasnāt worth it. Said if he had to go once a week and stay over an odd night itād cost him more. I think a season ticket is about 20grand (my pal was paying 16 before lockdown)
Apparently if you are officially part of a London team, you canāt claim tax relief on travel to London as the tax people say youāve chosen not to live there.
It is obscene. Ā£184 standard class one way. Standing room only yesterday.
I paid Ā£245 one way in the morning, and just about made the last train before 3 (peak starts at 3pm) and āonlyā paid 95 (standard) back. I get it paid back but Iām honestly embarrassed handing it in.
Thereād be no temptation to drive?
Roaming in non-EU countries. I donāt mind with the work phone but I have a cheap Virgin Mobile contract on my own phone and the last time I went to Switzerland I got rode. Is it just a matter of switching off my roaming when over there? I went onto the Virgin site and you can cap it up to ā¬50 where they cap it and you canāt roam after that. Apart from my thumb up my hole, what options have I?
A toblerone up your hole. Go for the smaller sizes first then work your way up.

I paid 65 last week Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston. Paid on the day at the station.
No, not really. Could handy take 5 hours, then parking etc.
Off peak.
Peak is getting on a train anytime between 0530 and 1030am, and then 1500-1900.
Apparently Friday is off peak all day.
it was cheaper for me to get an uber from Sheffield to Manchester than the trans-pennines the last time I was over. Thatās just not right

Red-eye flight this morning on mainland USA. Great to see the yanks have dispensed with the fallacy of taking off shoes, putting laptops in trays, etc. K9s are changing the face of travel for the better. 20+ mins at security was reduced to 5 mins.
