Once again, you presume someone is concerned about pleasing you.

Funny: I didn't get that impression about you.

I was hoping to help you improve yourself. Bad idea.

One of many bad ideas you have, it seems.

The London end is going to be the problem - you can get a train from St
Pancras (now) or Kings Cross Thameslink (in a few weeks when
engineering works finish) or a coach from Victoria (National Express)
to Luton. Both run most of the night.

In the daytime it would be easy to get by tube from Stamford Brook to
Victoria (District line, direct) or Kings Cross/St Pancras (one change
to Piccadilly line at Hammersmith). But you are leaving before the tube
starts running and arriving back when it's shut down. So it's either an
expensive taxi, spend one or both nights at the airport, or check out
London's night buses on:

One of your other bad ideas is that you seem to think that we're interested
in reading your snide smart alec comments. Even when the OP proved you wrong
when you said he was a troll you couldn't just offer a graceful apology, you
had to carry on complaining.

Hmm. I just noticed this.
1. I didn't say he was a troll; I raised the question.
2. He didn't prove me wrong or, indeed, that he is not a troll. He
gave an explanation that seemed reasonable to me.
3. I offered opinions; I didn't complain.
4. Killfile me, and you will be happier.
