    "A couple of months ago I was in town overnight so booked the family into a hotel and we had a couple of days out. Public transport is good now - at least centrally. If this is a result of the congestion charge (and I think it probably is) then it does have to be said it's working."

    I strongly disagree.
    The suburban trains are dirty, late and loads of cancellations.
    The Underground, cancellations, breakdowns etc.
    Busses, fine. Why? Because there are less cars on the road due to the congestion charge.

        Can you get a sticker that says "I torture small furry mamals for fun" to put in the rear window?

        You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

          No longer do I do that. I have moved so there is no need to brutally mutilate the local vermin population

            Wrong, it is injected into the jet eflux.
