- Good morning, Ma'am. Can I help you?

- Oh, yes
- And I'm not too sure of the best way to get there
- Uh-huh
- I've got a car but it's, er, not in very good condition. I was just wondering first of all if you could tell me how long you think it'd take me to drive up there
- Well, if you go up the motorway to way I suppose about eight hours
- Eight hours?
- Uh-huh, it's a long way
- It's a long way, I suppose petrol prices the way they are at the moment it'd be a bit expensive too
- Well, well, yes. It'd probably cost you about ten pounds
- Mm-mm
- Depends on your car
- Yeah, the car's the trouble
- Mm-mm
- I don't know what kind of condition I'd arrive in. Tell me... Now, what about coach?
- Yes
- because I've been told that's fairly resonable?
- Oh, it is. It's very good. It costs about fourteen pounds in fact. London to Edinburgh.
- Mm-mm. That's not too bad.
- Yes, very resonable
- On the other hand, it takes quite a long time.
- Yes, it takes about ten hours.
- Ten hours?
- Well, yes but you can go at night so you might get some sleep anyway
- Oh, I never sleep sitting up
- No? Well...
- Don't think so. What about the train there?
- Yes, erm, let me see... It takes five hours in fact from London to Edinburgh. Er, and they costs twenty-one pounds, single
- Twenty-one pounds single?
- Uh-huh. Well, it's a lot of money but of course you can then sleep at night and so on
- Yes. I'd arrive in feeling okay
- Uh-huh, yes
- What I'd really like to do, of course, is go the whole hog and go by plane. Can you tell me about that?
- Uh-huh, yes of course. From London to Edinburgh single, let me see... thirty-eight pounds
- Ah-huh, erm.
- But of course it only takes just over an hour. It takes seventy minutes.
- Really?
- Yes, you're there in no time
- That'd be a wonderful start to the holiday
- Uh-huh, shall I book you a ticket?
- Well, look, I tell you what, I really ought toi think about it. Thanks so much for your help but I think I'll come back to you if that's okay.
- Uh-huh
