I have just spent 2 hours battling to book flights, trains and hotels all over the country for the next 2-3 weeks. My last act was to book a train from Scallypool to London for tomorrow. Cattle class single is ?108. First class single with comfy seats and lunch and stuff is ?51! How the fook does that compute?

"Market Forces" I 'spect.

You are suggesting that some people prefer to pay extra to travel second class rubschin:
-
No I am saying that a great many people assume 1st Class is expensive so just toddle down to the station, buy a ticket and never ask about any deals or first class therefore on certain journeys there will be a crowd in the "cattle" class and 1st class will be virtually empty. Empty seats make no money. As soon as they have filled the first class just watch the prices shoot up again.

I have fooked it up.
During my little stay in Lanzartooty I have to stay one night in a hotel. I booked over the intermong.
I was printing off all the tickets and such today and read a few more details about the hotel.
I was informed that it is close to the beach. Good. Close to the airport. Good. And close to the biggest shopping mall in Latin America eeek:
I meant to book a place in Arrecife, but have instead booked a place in Recife, Fooking Brazil Banghead Banghead Banghead Banghead Banghead

It's not my day noooo:
On the way back from the doc (antibiotics now) I set out to cross the road. A car hurtled round the blind bend behind me, so I stopped and withdrew towards the kerb. As the lights were red the kind lady in the car stopped and gestured to me to cross anyhoo.
The car behind with came hurtling round the bend, piloted by some demented pensioner, failed to stop and rear ended the first car. Steam, broken glass, irate folks, the lot.
Police called and all sorts of confusion about witnesses. 2 hours later and I am home. Both cars taken away on trucks noooo:

Indeed ~ I saw that on the news too .... Profits up.
This is prolly worthy of a thread of its own but I'll say it here:
Is it just me or do others feel resentful when retailers I use announce massive profits? Somehow it makes me feel used.

Not if I've got it cheaper there than anywhere else. Now insurance companies are a whole different kettle of fish.
