Hertz 24/7 - Unable to pick up vehicle or contact them - Am I being charged?
Essentially I reserved a van for just over 48 hours and due to the location closing early and trains not running I'd now only be able to pick it up 6-12 hours before I'd have to return it. Does anyone know if I would be possible to cut my losses by not collecting it at all? Thanks in advance

Fake charges added to our hotel bill
We don't use hotels a great deal so we don't know how widespread this is. The hotel accepted that it wasn't our charge when I protested that we had not ordered any extras. This was a charge for 1 x breakfast. We were on room only as we were breakfasting elsewhere. It was not a large amount cosmically speaking - around £20.…

Looking for a decent hotel in London near a Tube Station
My wife and I are thinking about taking a mini break to London in the middle of November, travelling by train from Newcastle. We'll do a bit of sightseeing so I assume being near a tube station would be handy, or ae the buses equally as good ? I know of the Premier Inn and Travel Lodge hotel chains, so will probably look…
