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.

    • Hi does anyone have a Hotwheels track (ideally which packs away neatly like the fuel can or transporter one) they've been itching to get rid of please? Needed urgently for an emergency birthday present!    Thanks! 
    • Glad to hear that the cops are taking crash for cash seriously.  The situation I am aware of the driver called the police, reported it separately as dangerous motorcycling, avoided all calls from 'ambulance chasers' and subsequently got a letter from the police saying it was an unregistered rider/uninsured rider.  It was reluctantly reported to their insurers who actually did not put up the premium which was a nice surprise. So as stressful as it may be just hold firm, deny everything, take down details and report to the police.
    • Hi I am looking to join some local businesses networking events and wondering if anyone can recommend any. I know there used to be one (Cooking with Scissors) but that’s not running any more. Thanks.
    • Eats Dulwich has just reviewed Arapina, including its hot chocolate!  I assume they read the original first and  very long post on this thread before almost all of it was removed. Interesting to have another opinion!
