Binning a car that cost £24000 for the sake of a £2000 part IS really stupid. Once done it will last me another 10 years easy. Why did a 9-YO car need a new subframe ?. Something not quite right there. Maybe on a 15-YO 'modern' car perhaps, but it's not a 1966 austin 1100 is it ?. Do you drive on salty roads or visit a chemical factory every day ?.

In the end, I was overpaid by £9000 as they should have halved my pay after 6 months, but cocked it up and I ended up retiring on my 56 birthday anyway. Wow, they never tried to correct such a large cockup? No - I think they were scared that I might go to the press and say that BP overworked me and I tried to take my life as a result, so they just let it go. |

Makes a lot more sense to use the chunnel if you prefer to use your car in europe. Southampton - NYC - Southampton is just a continuation of that.

Too slow for me compared with the plane. I did use it the once but that was because a couple of kids were paying for it and it wasnt reasonable to make them pay 10 times as much for the plane because they changed their mind at the last minute when I was helping them to move with them not being confident to drive their car one way. |
