I suppose, if you think about it, £250 isn't too bad a deal.
Look at it this way:
20 mins fuel either way to Sarfend: Let’s say £70
10 mins extra fuel on the ground: £10
Landing charge & overnight parking: (Don’t know what they charge but let’s say £25)
Hotel for the night: £100
Taxi to and from hotel: £20
Fish and chips: £5
Drink from the mini-bar: £20
Yup, that’s pretty much bang on £250. . . . and you get home that night and save yourself a lot of earache from the missus. . . . . .
