    Ideal for Tezza. I'd suggest he starts at Streatham and just wanders around from their until into the wee hours...

    Just under 9 quid (450 baht) and 3.60 (180 baht) for the kids if you go after 9:30am. This allows unlimited travel on all the underground, DLR, buses and trams (wherever they are?) for the day.

    The travelcard is good from zones 1-6, which means you can base yourself in places like Harrow, Wembley or even as far out as Northwood and be in the centre of town within 30 minutes.

    There are terrific off peak deals incorporating unlimited travel within London by tube and bus. It's all so coordinated now and quite effortless. An Oyster card used off peak times for all zones encompassing most of London costs less than a packet of fags or thereabouts.
    Find a gaff in Ricksmanworth or somewhere else pleasant and you'll be down the Bakerloo line in no time.

    Are you always this negative, Tax?

    There are also often London hotels available on late deals. I recently paid £99 to stay at the Park Lane Sheraton. Not the best hotel in the world but bang opposite Green Park can hardly complain.

    Book train tickets in advance on line and stay even further out of town. Just 25 miles from London and you can be in totally unspoiled countryside in the Home Counties.

    I've heard good things about Airbnb, where you stay with people and they show you around. Much cheaper than a hotel.

    Terry doesn't like to be in a plane for more than four hours.

    I haven't been to London in years, but i would chose it over New York any day. But then, i've never been to New York - so can't really say much!!

    I know a few people who use www.airbnb.co.uk they are full of its praises,

    I am no defender of BA but the video clip sounds like a disgruntled steward/ess to me.
