      Bear in mind that you have to get a train from Southampton Airport into Southampton, then change and catch the really slow train down to Portsmouth Harbour. The online timetable reckons most will take about 1:20, with the odd faster option around 55 minutes.

      Getting from Gatwick to Portsmouth takes about 1:40, so not much slower.

      @Steffen, I do miss the convenient public transport systems in Europe. Outside of Melbourne, I don't think the Australians get it, though it's not as bad as LA.

      I was surprised by the price of the apartment in Frankfurt, but I understand the city's got a nasty infestation of bankers, so it's understandable! 😃

        It's a 25-minute drive with no traffic, though. So taxis are an option

          It is really convinient indeed @Graeme but still the Politics want to one up it and basicly try and make it without blind spots all over Germany, lets see how that works out  😃

          Thank you @Giles I did Frankfurt Amsterdam Southhampton once when my now Ex Girlfriend studied there and was A blown away by how fast youre from the Plain on UK Ground and B by how dead cheap Rentals are compared to Heathrow. The Point you made that this can easily go really wrong like in your case is of course Right, I have to carefully Check for Alternatives if I plan on doing it this way, Schiphol is an Odd Part of Amsterdam to get Stuck if you dont have a Hoovercraft on Hand  😃

            We'd pick you up from Southampton Airport - if visiting us was part of your agenda - don't want you wasting beer jeans money 🙂 🙂

                Some moron was walking a stroller full of children right down the middle of the street by my house while gabbing on the phone. I mean not trying to stay out of the way of traffic even a little.

                We have sidewalks and people absolutely fly down that street. I don't understand what she was thinking.

                Also, I'm over the heat wave.

                Think it, be it.

                  Yep I am completely over the heat the U.K. is having!

                        I’m in the south east of Spain and it’s cooler than Oslo. I can do heat in Spain and Barbados and the like. Places that are built for it and have it year round. Heat in anything north of Italy and Spain is a nightmare.

                          Doesn't matter where you are, when the temperature breaks 100F/40C, it's unpleasant.  And I don't want to hear any of that "oh, but if the humidity is low, it's not that bad" crap.  An oven has low humidity, too.

                                  I'm from Jackson, MS. Not a lot of triple digit weather coming up there and rarely below freezing, but when it's hot it feels like you're walking through hot soup thanks to the humidity.

                                  I lived in Minneapolis for 10 years and for a significant part of the year it's below freezing. Miserable as the weather is there, I think I'd take that over Mississippi.

                                  Denver is pretty great but this is shaping up to be a really hot summer. 95 degrees and up indeed does suck even in this dry climate. I'm grateful it's not humid here or it'd be nigh unbearable.

                                  Think it, be it.

                                    I am so flipping British…I can't handle the heat if I'm working or have stuff to do. If I'm not working, then not so bad. That said, I spend my time moaning about how I can't stand the hot, dry weather...last Friday I felt a few spots of rain and said to myself 'oh for fuck's sake'.

                                    I am one of those that prefer dry heat to humidity. The dry heat of an NYC summer is better than the humidity of Singapore's monsoon season and I've done both. It's better by the coast too. There is usually a breeze.

                                    What I don't get though is these little pricks that wear their shorts, with a black hoodie on with the hood up...bad man dem

                                          We have a threenager and he is being a little shite in the name of 'developmental milestones'. There is no escaping the heat with him. I sat in an air conditioned soft play for 4 hrs yesterday drinking coffee and talking crap to mums just to escape the burn…There were a couple of complaints that I'd stripped of to my scants but not as many as I'd anticipated  😉

                                            I was in Utah with my family for a funeral during May, and the temperature was probably in the 30s (celsius) / 90s (fahrenheit).

                                            Most of my family live in the north of England, where it doesn't get that hot, and they were suffering from the heat. Being acclimatised to Australian summers, I found it quite pleasant. 😃
