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.

    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
