Have posted lots before about my Ex, who is an arse of the highest order (this is why he's my Ex, of course!)
Am going away with our DC for a few days at the end of this month. I don't drive so normally travel everywhere by public transport. Which generally is not a problem. However, on working out our journey, have realised that as there is no direct route, it will take in the region of 4 hours to get there by train .
The same journey by car would be about 1.5 hours, maybe even slightly less if no traffic.
I have enquired about a taxi - would cost £200! (which whilst I'm not on the poverty line is still an awful lot of money to spend - train fares will be maybe £60).
Also the DC want to take their bikes with them - not essential & they might have to do without BUT if Ex agrees to give us a lift they can put them on the bike carrier on the back of his car.
So, AIBU to think of asking him for a lift? (even if just for the DC & I get the train?)
I wouldn't mind so much getting train myself - in fact its probably more appealing than sitting in a car with him - but I just feel a bit sorry for the DC doing a 4 hour train journey......
