Do you have to travel into London to get a train up to say Leeds ? Just asking .
Suspend your disbelief otherwise the inference is that you consider me to be a liar. That's not nice.
We have used the same driver for a number of trips since last June. His first job for us was collecting my dear wife's family from Heathrow when they came over from Georgia.
He has since taken us to Barnsly, Rotherham, and various others. On Tuesday, he will take us to the vet with our dog and the following week to the groomer.
A bit of background. We are moving up north and have looked at several properties in South Yorkshire. We needed to view them and getting there by train was expensive not to mention tortuous with changes and timing. Plus taxi fares at both ends.
I did drive the trip, in fact I drove a lot on business but cataracts prevent that now. Operation in a few weeks, I hope, will remedy that.
BTW - convenience? Our driver lives just two doors away. And his children love our big hairy dog. The younger daughter came in to our house today to feed him a carrot.
