Train from Newport to Gatwick 11th Aug £420 open return!!!
We thought we'd go by train to Gatwick, we need to travel there on the 11th Aug and back on 28th Aug. The fare for 2 adults, 1 child with a family railcard is £420 standard open return. A single to there on the 12th is coming up as £127. Is this likely to get any cheaper or should I give up and look at car parking.

Moral question (and how much should two new tyres cost?)
I recently bought a 9 year old Mondeo for £460. The ad said it had "four good tyres", but in fact the two front tyres need replacing. So my moral quandry is this: should I ask the seller for a contribution to the cost of the new tyres? I don't think she was trying to cheat me; the tyres were nearly new, they just have a…
