whats new
I see nothing has changed then.
During a JMC about 12 years ago. I had to fly from Stornoway to Glasgow. Stay overnight in a hotel. Get a hire car and drive to Lyneham. And I had to pay my own way - Not just for me BUT also for 3 engineers. It cost me best part of £2000 on my credit card and although the Pusser reimbursed me the actual cost...because it took 6 weeks to get the paperwork through I incurred an interest payment and they wouldn't pay that.!!!!
But the best story was when I went down bird and the local refuellers wouldnt accept the Shell card and so once again out came Mr Barclaycard to fill the trusty stead up with F34. When I got back Barclayvcard rang up to check an unusual payment and I told them it was to refuel my Helicopter - Quick as a flash a Platinum Barclaycard was in ther post - Brill
