Actually this is quite an eyeopener, it is the same as most aspects of life or doing buisness in this country, its not initial
costs but the hidden extras that add up, from my own perspective im looking at a minimum of 100 mile round trip which
will cost me roughly 25 euro in fuel, plus u have wear and tear, depending on the time parking, plus if ure early u will
prob have a snack or a coffee etc. So in my case if u also brought a little gift u would be looking at give or take 50
euro extra. If u went for a half hour appointment (100 euro) the ancillary costs would add an extra 50% to ure spend.
So it appears once again those located conveniently within walking distance of appointments are big winners
The other thing is how u value ure own time, especialy if ure self employed, between travel the actual appointment
and preparing for the appointment it will use up roughly 31/2 to 4 hrs in my case. How u cost this im sure will vary
greatly from person to person

Not another one of these cost threads,
If you can't afford to punt then don't.
