Visitors

Having moved to a different country I feel very happy when my friends come to visit me. But sometimes certain ones take my breath away. A while ago I got an email from an acquaintance.
'We're looking for a cheap holiday so thought we'd visit you'
Cheap!!
I clean the house from end to end, change beds buy different shopping because you eat different to me, buy wine and soft drinks.
Then drive 2 hours to pick them from the airport and 2 hours back. Then drive them around the area sight seeing. Cook, wash up clean up after them and generally entertain, whilst still trying to do my normal life . Then back 2 hours to the airport and 2 hours back, then clean up after them.
A cheap holiday, for who?

I'm a houseguest at the moment help

Using Pat's logic, I'd better start packing my bags moping
I left out the racial element of that little wisdom for which you wouldn't qualify- Pommy houseguests.
Phew, I've never been so glad of the end of that ice age and the landbridge with Old Blighty disappearing
