True but it does eventually do your head in. Mine was mince in less than 2 weeks even though it had a 4 star rating. Then there is the paperwork when you get back the arguments over it the what should be on and isnt and vice versa. Unless you have an accountant with you its murder. Took me over a week last time I did it
I was lucky then.
Surprised you havent asked him to bring a couple of bottles of steri milk up for you ... or is that in a pm to neil ...
Actually you might be surprised to find that it is (or was) a rule.
It is (or was) in the bus company regulations somewhere.
There always used to be a printed sign at the front of the buses saying something along the lines of "concessionary fares must give up their seat to full fare paying passengers" or words that mean that.
And if you kicked up a fuss the driver was supposed to back you up.
But these days they prefer to lock themselves in their bulletproof cabin away from the world
like i said earlier i remember somthing about half fare paying customers/concessionary fares having to give up seats but if that is still the case i suppose if abiding by the rules if they are still in place OAP's can be told to give up their seats as well lol
i guess these days its all down to how much manners are available on the bus at the time.

It is ok but I would prefer to not be away from home. The hotel is booked and paid for by the company. Expense claim is for food and drink
I would not go if it was not nice. They put me in a Travelodge next to the Southern plant for 2 1/2 weeks the other year. When they wanted me back down again in the summer I said I did not want to be in it again. You could not eat in and when I was working till as late as 9pm at weekend all I wanted to do was go back to the hotel and eat with any messing about. You were on about Local Councillors expenses a while ago. 2 of us in that place having a meal and a few drinks was costing upto £50 a night each.

Well its not only transport that has bad manners problems. The one place you would think that under the present economic situation that shops would be begging for your money yet this seems not so. Was in Glasgow again for stuff i wanted and was in River Island I could not get any help for boots in my size off the shop assistant as he was gabbing to a pal 
So i butted in (bad manners i know) and told him i hoped his mate was buying stuff because i wasnt. I put the stuff i wanted to buy down and left. Went and spent it in Next were they were very willing to help and have my money.
