    That is quite some overcharge (attempted)! And if you do agree a DD, will they be taking money, or will it be there for when needed? Next year or whatever.

    Don't worry so much - pour yourself a glass of prosecco, buy some craft-brewery beer, book a few domestic flights. You know it makes sense. (Remember 1963?)
