Erm, what percentage of the total holiday cost is \'a335?
If the airfare had been \'a335 more - would that have prevented you going?
If the car hire had been \'a34/day more - would that have stopped you having one?
How many beers would yould have to go without for \'a335?\line How many
restaurant meals will you have to avoid to save \'a335?
Puts it into perspective - \'a335 is only noise!
Enjoy the trip...

Yeah I know what you're saying: and I'm not trying to claim I can't
afford it! It's just that 35 quid is still, well, 35 quid [or \'a3 35
even ;-) ] and the use of a satnav on the trip is no more than a
'nice-to-have' and won't make or break the holiday. So at that cost it's
staying at home!
