london is such a crappy place sorry to any of you living there but it realy is a sh@t hole and i don't ever want to go there again Cheers nightmares! ;D I will admit that driving around London you really have to know when and where to avoid and even then you can occasionally get caught out. A good knowledge of alternative routes is generally essential. I guess it was probably Londoners that started the Essex jokes    |

i refuse to drive in london now if at all possible.what with the traffic and red kens 'congestion charge' it getting nigh on impossible to get anywhere anyway.
i went darn sarf to take my mum and dad out for the day,london eye,madam tussauds etc.me (time served van driver and chaffuer in and around london) and my dad (ex taxi driver,van driver,bus driver,coach driver national and intercontinental and ex fire engine driver) in the front,ladies in the back laughing their socks off because we got lost !once we got past brixton that was it,diversions,road closures,no left or right turns,one way streets that didnt exist the week before,we ended up driving out to greenwich just to find a road that we could legally use to get back to central london.my mate is a black cab driver in central london and i asked him which way we should have gone and all he could do was roll his eyes and shake his head and mutter something like " well,you got there in the end,must of been the right route" this from a man who knows london like the back of his hand ,and can't tell me a better route probably cos there isn't one.

I totally agree that the Government is screwing us left, right and centre with taxes and splurging the money gaining on nothing more than funding immigration and wasting it on polititians £100,000 lunch bills. I also agree that the amount of 'speed' (money making) cameras are excessive...
HOWEVER!
Speed cameras are only set to the speed of the road. They do not underhandedly set themselves under the speed limit to catch legal drivers. They only catch folks who break the law by exceeding the speedlimit.
I'll be the first to hold my hands up, I speed pretty much everywhere, 40 in 30, 80 on the motorway, thats a risk I choose to take, and if I get stopped or caught, I cant argue the fact I'm speeding, I just have to hold my hands up.
Britain DOES need it backbone rebuilt though, we are only too easily pursuaded to accept anything this Governemtn shovels onto us!

Motorists should rise up and revolt against this shister government! But then you are a terrorist and should locked up indefinatley without trial. Or so they would like. Anyone who speaks against big brother is sent to room 101, their spirit totally broken and then they are re-educated. Then they are free from state oppression because the state loves them. Those are the words of A Blair. |

Vote yellows. they are the only ones with any sort of transport policy. The reds and the blues have had ample opportunities to get one together and have totally failed.
