    That's good. I've spent many an hour trying to find 2-3 nights at £19 and never managed it. I think they do it so you give up and book at full price.

    The one time I did get invited somewhere the TL was round the corner and was £50/night!!!! There were 4 blokes going too, so all right for them as they could share. I didn't go in the end.

    We are considering doing exactly the same for our son. Perfectly legal. It's our money, we can spend it on whatever we wish (and if we live another seven years there will be no inheritance tax to pay).

    Life is not fair. Accept it, and go on to plan B.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    The OP did go to Plan B: being non too bright and not being able to edit his original post, he made up stuff about a luxuriant-sounding lifestyle so we'd be impressed and all rush to be his friend.

    Isn't the Internet marvellous!

    I did it the other way round.
