That is a fantastic idea! The Queen one week then David Cameron lookalike the next. I could also get an Ed Miliband lookalike around and then chase him off my property waving my first and shouting abuse. It's one of the safest Tory seats in the country so that should get me some local respect.

It's possible to start up any business in London and do well ..... and this one has "do it, it's a winner" written all over it.

Go on ....

Ideally you need to partner with somebody who has several posh cars for rent.... so they're just using the cars at times when they'd usually be sitting around doing nothing. Sideline business....

Could set up another of "rent a papparazi crowd"

No, this is a moneysaving site, you need to offer a "valet parking" service at some posh venue and then instead of parking the car straight away use it for delivering the posh lookylikey before returning it to its owner.

Ludicrous but at least £1,000 is cheaper than the normal cost of a return flight to Australia. Probably flying on Air Asia or something equally horrendous. I like the idea that you aren't there for long enough for jet lag to apply. Unfortunately it doesn't really work like that in practice.

Why would anyone spend a weekend the other side of the world and do it to include a nine hour drive from SYD to MEL?

It would work better if you got on an over night bus and slept for the 9 hour journey. I've no idea whether such a bus service exists. Another business opportunity if not...

I doubt anybody will ... it's just a way to get free PR for the airline.

You've not met my husband have you? He thinks nothing of going to LA or Seattle for the weekend. Went to Australia to see Kylie in concert. Planned to go to Japan to see a band in concert until they fortuitously announced they were playing London (at which point I had to politely tell him it was bl**dy stupid to say he wanted to go to Tokyo for a concert but was a bit unhappy about having to take the tube south of the river to Brixton). Thank goodness he works for an airline. We'd be bankrupt otherwise.
