House buying

F*ck.

A park and ride is planned for the area our new house is in.

We're asked the solicitors to find out some more details ... but we're not happy.

ETA: We had worried that the site was immediately to the rear of the new house, meaning that we would be looking over a building site / car park. However, close examination of the plans shows that our house will continue to overlook its own patch of waste ground; the only bit of our road that will overlook the site is further along. Any disruption to us should therefore be minimal. Panic over!

Flying to America

We've been looking at flights from London to Philadelphia, or possibly New York.

(1) It's cheaper to fly from London to New York via Philadelphia, with United Airlines, than it is to fly from London to Philadelphia, with United Airlines.

(2) It's cheaper to fly direct from London to New York direct in business class than it is in premium economy.
