******* Dartford Crossing!

[BrilloPad]

Just scrap the tolls!

Every time I fill up the car I pay the taxman about £40. Isnt that enough you robbing!? 's

Just scrap the effing tolls ! :




Thank you.

And yet the roads are still full.

Petrol duty needs to be increased to a level where the roads are a lot emptier. Preferably enough to remove all the permies.

And people with 4x4s used to take tarquin and chardonnay the 250yards to the school gate
And people who hog the middle/outside lane of a multi-lane road
And people who don't use their indicators
And people.
Yes, people in general who aren't me.

We don't have enough toll roads to make it worth while?

Dartford Crossing, M6 Toll and Severn Bridge, I think thats it

There's a 20p toll at Whitchurch, but it's free on a bike

Whitchurch Bridge :: Home

40p for the Dunham Bridge, but free for bikes

Swinford Toll Bridge near here costs only 5p. They sold it a few years ago for over £1m.

BBC News - Toll bridge bought for over £1m

And the owners don't have to pay tax.

this one

Seems to be the subject of much frustration for the locals!

Of course the elephant in the room is that charges on the Dartford bridge were only meant to be temporary, and it's funding was based on the premise that once the costs of building the bridge were met the toll charge would be removed

[xoggoth]

Haven't been over it for a while but what really pissed me off was my little white van being charged more than damn great 4x4s that were far bigger and heavier.

There used to be a fellow who would row you across the Manchester Ship Canal for a penny - there was a footpath there with some covenant on it hence the boat.

Wonder if it's still there - was in 70's - near Irlam I think.....
