Train to Bristol from Manchester... bad idea, especially if I need to be there for 7. That would be two trains in total and lets not forget the taxi to the station and from... or lets go crazy and say a bus!! That would mean I would probably have to leave at 1-2am to get there in time, if not early. By car... just under 3 hours! I don't have a problem with people who are less well off, what I do have a problem with is subsidising their holiday!
