Say what you mean

[Miss Demeanour]

So some cousin of mine ( not seen in years ) messages me on Faceache and says he has to come to the big smoke for a conference .

He is  looking at hotel accommodation and cant believe the price ( they also don't accept turnip futures or hay bonds ) . Yep he's from the West Country  . The cheapest Premier Inn he could find was £159 for one night etc etc etc . He would appreciate my 'local knowledge' and his conference was at The Savoy 

Now I read that and thought what you are trying to say is you want to come and stay with me and pocket whatever allowance you have been given for accommodation

So first question ..." isn't your employer paying for accommodation as this is work related "

Never got a direct answer to that

Second question " what is your budget?"

Never got a direct answer to that

Seems my initial  thoughts were proving right so why don't you just come out and ask 

Next message I just sent him the link to a hotel under a hundred quid for the night and walkable to his conference .

I got a "thanks" for this message
