I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

WW, as I said elsewhere, there were 3 prices for an hotel we stayed at in Guernsey last year:

1. Pay all up front - £277.
2. Pay 10% deposit - £28.70 - pay balance £258.30 on departure
3. Pay whole bill on departure - £327.

The no penalties charge therefore had an 'insurance' element of £40. bviously if you cancelled then option 3 was cheapest.
