@CloudyMrs It's a financial nightmare. I used to travel & was told the tax office wouldn't permit higher allowances. I remember being in Copenhagen and having to find a supermarket for dinner. The allowance didn't stretch to a hot meal. Finding accommodation in the budget has been difficult for decades, especially in London. I reported one place to the council as it was a fire hazard. One colleague thought he was being attacked in the night, the wallpaper fell off on him!
