I know, it's hardly the most revealing fact
Last week a guy on one of the forums I use was asked by the BBC to appear on a live programme the following evening. He said he was tired and didn't want to appear as the 120 mile would knacker him (a two hour drive!). "That's alright, we'll get a taxi to pick you up and we'll put you up in a nearby travel lodge". 120 miles in a taxi!
Folllowing the show, he travelled back on the train. I didn't see the show, but christ knows how much his few minutes of fame cost us
