It could just be you  :-X  ;D
Lets do some maths, and assume that one of the other 100,000,000 sperm were faster that the one that created than useless retard, Ken Livingston, and there was no Congestion Charge (which grates more than paying to enter Wales - at least Wales is a nice place).

If I drove to the site I was at today, right by the Thames, I'd use about 7 gallons at less than £4 per gallon, and about £16 parking. So around £40, there abouts, all in.  And lets face it, my car isn't the most economical, and nor am I, and about 1hr45 mins each way.

I take the useless slug, cost was over £60, from leaving home this morning until arriving at the site was just over 2hr30.

Already, the Slug doesn't make any sense. Now if 2 need to go...  ...or 3...  ...or 4...


Its absolutely flawed.


I'd add in the congestion charge, but the TFL site was built by retards, and although the individual words make sense, the sentences didn't. Well, not for those that don't play wankwordbingo.  Nowhere on there could I find a price for the congestion charge, but from memory, is £25 per car...  ...making using a big, gas guzzling 3.0l auto about break-even cost wise to the slow, cramped, unreliable slug.

Bit tight refusing petrol millage to station!
That was the rules laid down by this particular client who was paying for it - either public transport or mileage, not both. And not paying congestion charge.

Should have registered with TFL, as LPG cars used to be free. Think that scheme has ended now, but if you were registered still means no congestion charge

Opposite Bromley by bow tube is a large block of new apartments.A large section of the car park isnt numbered for residents,its for visitors,contractors etc. Park there,leave a not in the window "visiting number 167....", walk across the road and hop on the tube. Dead rather easy. :)
I used to have a residents parking permit for there but not any longer.I do still have a book of residents parking tickets for Hackney though. ::)

As from beginning of last year, that was withdrawn for everyone I thought? (when they shrunk the zone)

Yes, many times. Almost as many times as reminding us about your dislike of the Ford Focus & woes with frozen water meters & the dishwasher.  :y he he

Yeah, I hate the useless Focus, and get frustrated with regularly having to defrost the meter.  The dishwasher, well, we have an understanding...

Even when it was available you had to have a car and LPG kit endorsed by them, fitted by an LPGA retard, so the chances of it running long enough to get to London would have been slim. ;)

I took the time to decode the TFL "wankwordbingo" game and got this: "Ken's daily tax free bonus through a third party company"  ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D

Been on WSR today (sorry Hornby Man, its steam, not diesel).

WSR is faster, smoother (except the unwelded rails) and quieter than the crappy slug ;D
