(for) longer than ...

Hi,

I'd like to ask you a question about "for". Is it needed or just optional in this context?

"We stayed there (for) longer than we expected."

Thank you

fivejedjonIt's fine in BrE.
Really? Another difference to remember. I'm glad I don't have to pass an exam on British English! I'd fail miserably.
