and most people who work in central London don't drive in. But if JG needs to, to deliver stuff then fair enough.
You've embarrassed yourself quite enough I think
LOL of course it is. The congestion charge is an unfair policy that many other makor cities wouldn't dare to introduce simply because it doesn't really work. Were you aware that it costs over £5.50 of every £8 to collect?
This may surprise you to know but... people work in London.
Because my job is delivering dairy products and mineral water to the good people of Holland Park.
Fair enough, but given that it's for delivering produce, surely the logical thing is to increase your prices to cover it? I mean it costs you more to deliver it so your customers pay more for it?
I guess political party doesn't affect too much when it comes to being a mayor though..?
Boris seems like a good guy from the videos I've been watching on BBC. Although I don't like the conservatives, Labour don't seem to do much but tax me more each year, and the only policies I hear from the Lib Dems involve how they'd tax us even more in the name of global warming. They're all crap, really. I guess political party doesn't affect too much when it comes to being a mayor though..?
And that's fair for the people who live in London, is it? Or do they somehow "deserve" to pay more for everything? Surely that would only result in London becoming even more expensive, with only the rich affording certain things, and the poor being pushed out even further.
You need cars in London because the public transport sucks. I hate it - I always choose my car over public transport, my company covers me for the CC (not that I'm often in there during it's operating hours) so I have absolutely not need to worry about it which is fantastic. Means I don't have to sit with the lowlifes. Furthermore my motorbike isn't charged so it's all good for me
Anybody in the charging zone live plenty near enough to a shop to go and buy things in person if they can be bothered.
For large items, places where it costs more to deliver already attract higher delivery charges, so why shouldn't london (granted, most existing higher charges are based on distance)

Very good? Take a tube trip during rush hour and see if you agree. You wouldn't catch me on the tube for love nor money, especially during sardine time.I think London's public transport is generally acknowledged as being very good.
For example... London voted world's best city for public transport

You obviously haven't been in some areas of the western extension then.
I lived in kensington for 2 years and know the area pretty well, where exactly do you think people can't just pop to the shops?
