Yes, he does. He's flown F on CO a few times because of me. And I think he appreciated the suite we had in NYC in September, although such things don't impress him much. And he does enjoy the free hotel rooms we get when we travel together.

With the M5 and other tollroads it is a fairly quick trip if you can avoid peak times.

 

No doubt the people who sat behind me believe I am some sort of freak.

 

 

It's okay, though. I have more posts than them.
