"£154 ph is expensive to anyone"
Meaningless statement isn't it? For example I could have gone to Durham Tee Valley and flown for £130 ph, plus 3 hour round trip drive costing for petrol alone around £15. I don't want to think about the real cost of that journey taking in maintenance , depreciation etc . No thanks. The cost per hour only has meaning for the alternatives if one lives equidistant (ish) between the two choices, otherwise there is no choice.
