This bit...a day's parking at London's City Airport came to £45 ($72), against Sydney's $52?

or this one... A week's parking at Sydney costs $122. A week's parking at Melbourne Airport costs $140, and a week's parking at Heathrow costs £114.8 ($183).?

Look around and you can get a week for £52 at Heathrow saving you enough to afford the food at Heathrow.

The significant thing about the UK is there's tons of competition so always someone who can do it for you cheaper. Here we all too often have only one or two to choose from: Mr Con Man and Mrs Rip Off
