Good morning, Madam. Can I help you?
Eh... Yes, I hope so. I want to go to Edinburgh for the festival, and I'm not too sure of the best way to get there. I've got a car, but it's not in a very good condition. And I was just wondering if you could tell me how long you think it'll take me to drive up there.
Well, if you go there on the motorway, I suppose it's about 8 hours.
8 hours, It's a long way. And considering the patrol prices, it'll be a little too expensive, I suppose.
Well, yes, it probably costs you about 70 pounds depending on your car.
The car is the trouble. Now, what about the coach? I've been told that's fairly reasonable.
Oh, it is. It costs twenty pounds in fact from London to Edinburgh.
Hmm, that's not too bad.
But it takes about ten hours.
Oh, no. What about the train then?
Let me see. It takes five hours ill fact from London to Edinburgh. It costs 62 pounds for a single.
62 pounds for a single ticket. Wow, that's a lot of money. You see, what I'd really like to do is to go by plane. Can you tell me about that?
Yes, of course. Let me see, 78 pounds for a single. But it takes just over an hour.
Really?
Yes, you're there in no time.
Wonderful. That'll be a wonderful start to the holiday.
Shall I book a ticket?
Well, look. I really ought to think about it. Thank you very much for your help. See you later.
