Train costs.

Rope's understanding of "cost".

 

My, my alter ego is snappy today.

Only if you can show me the jar.

Shall we try conduction? <searches for electric leads>

 

I wish I'd never mentioned the donkey now. Those aren't my breasts and
I'm not doing that!

 

No, the donkey is..

 

Seems perfectly resonable to me, qualified as it was by "To the
average joe public".

 

Just as soon as I get it back from Dr. Hfuhruhurr's clinic. ...

not bad but I am at the bottom of a fairly steep learning curve with
such a sophisticated camera - well compared to what I have used before.
The main thing is that it feels and acts like a "real" camera not these
horrendous size of a postage stamp digital things.

 

it's the government's new policy to reduce overcrowding.

 

he won't because he's bought a single instead of a return where an
advance purchase ticket would be cheaper. It is very rare to get a
reduction on single tickets.

 

I'm more than happy with mine. If you've already bought into the EOS
system it's a no-brainer to go for the digital body. I jumped from
Minolta to Canon when I got mine.

The beauty of digital is it costs nothing to learn. I've taken 3,000
shots since I got mine ... in March. Normally I'd get through two or
three (36) films per month.

Would it have been any cheaper for me to pre-book a return and then not
use the return ticket?

 

a saver return would have cost you £1 more than the single.

I've just had a look at Virgin Trains own website - you can get a London
to Penrith single ticket for as low as £15 with steps up to £27 one way.
These are all very limited offers and you must book well in advance but
nevertheless there are bargains to be had. They ONLY apply to single
operator trips though - your trip from Flitwick involves a couple of
changes of operator.

I realise you would have the nonsense of travelling to London to go back
out again but if time is not a huge constraint then it's an option.

 

Paul Corfield says...

Ooh, bargain single ticket :-(

That's fairly inexpensive[1].

Yeah, it uses Virgin and some others. I have 3 changes of train over 6
and a bit hours.

I wouldn't have bothered, unless it took me all the way there with no
stops.

[1] Salesman talk for 'cheap as ****'. Usually used to describe
something that looks like shit and is dirt cheap, but without wanting it
to sound as such, i.e. Hyosung Cruise 11 125s and a whole selection of
other Chinese copies.

 

But that doesn't mean it's right.

"Ooh it only cost me £10 in petrol" is _not_ the true cost.

Whereas a train fare of £10 is exactly that, £10.

 

Digital has that effect. I've noticed it too!

 

^^^^
*ahem* I thought you said you were working on it?

 

If you want to know the true cost, then yes.

 

And what you don't seem to understand is that just becuase they don't do
this, it doesn't mean they are right.

Dan, let's go and bang our heads on a brick wall, eh?
