Podcast length - just right for me. Ideally anything 40 - 50 mins or so, but shorter (if pushed for time) or longer is also fine. It sounds more like a friendly chat than a 'podcast'.
Great report ITG - shame it didn't include the bit in the Edinburgh car hire office? (Did they enforce the extra money or ever take pity?)

Um, I was trying to forget about the car rental. I just paid it. They had no small cars so I had to pay rack-rate for a flash hybrid for 7 days, minjs whatever I had paid already.
My regular volunteering is teaching a Brazilian nun English. I've also just joined the football club parent council but I don't think that counts because it is for my own kid.
If of interest, and sorry, nothing to do with the podcast, I found (Avis in Sydney) for 1 day - in office with all my frequent user & ex-corporate benefits - $150. On Avis web site (while at the office) - $80. On BA website $70. Office mgr just sighed and said 'that's the way it is'. So I booked via BA and he got the car ...]
