do you mean "err" as in "to err" or as in the sound one makes when giving a second opinion aka "uhmm"


Maybe if you hadn't said "only one way"??


aaanyway - considering how close the airport is compared to the other two it can be a pain to get to - given the cost of flights etc etc and even tho the request is for public transport I would advise a mini cab - should be 12-15 quid which as part of the whole deal isn't too bad

it's when someone states something as fact e.g. "Only really one way at the moment.." and the following post, in a slightly jokey way is saying "err no, there is another way", rather like they were involved in a face to face conversation and taking the edge off an otherwise directly conflicting reply. I hope that helps to clear it up.



How much is a taxi to the airport?

Give it a go! It's one of those little things you can just chuck-in to help your postings read less like they've been auto-generated by a machine.


So.. this taxi..?

The missus usually got taxi when she was flying out of there every week. Camberwell cars quote about ?18 I seem to recall. Expect to pay nearer to 30 on your return in a black cab though.


Time depends on hour of the day. Leave at half 6am and you're there in a blink of an eye. Leave at half 8 and you could be well over an hour.

Mockney Piers - I've got a flight leaving City airport at 7.15am next Monday and will probably want to get there about 6.30. How long do you reckon it will take to get there by taxi?


(personally, I struggle to open my eyes at that time of the morning let alone blink them!)

I'd try to leave by 10 to 6. Just to be sure, but that should give you plenty of time at that time of the morning.


I know how you feel, I used to commute to amsterdam on the early flights. Sleep in the cab, then the boarding gate, then the plane, then whatever transport you arrive to ;)

I often fly to Dublin on Air France. It's not very good for my carbon footprint but I'm a nervous flyer in anything bigger than a lorry with wings frankly.


Here's the list, it is designed more for business travel but I've seen many a tourist use it.

If I'm going to be quoted, then perhaps it could be done accurately. Cut and paste is your friend.

Everyone on the EDF has their own style *Bob*, and it wouldn't do if everyone in ED displayed the same lame auto-generated sense of humour.

    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
