Congestion charging has worked rather well in our own city,
much though the press try to rubbish it and label it as a money spinning
scheme.
Cue the television news 'vox pop' I saw at the weekend, on the Oxford
Street traders calling for a suspension of the congestion charge.
Man and woman shopping in street quote: "Congestion charging has priced
us out of driving into London"
Me - banging head on wall and screaming "Yes, that's the ruddy point of
it"
(Apologies for bad quoting, but I couldn't find Jim's original mail)
