    I love that millennials and Zoomers are like this. I don’t need to have the phone call but I do need the answer now. So I tell them: “Don’t make me call you…”

    Usually get a suitable text answer within five minutes.





  • The ferry spaces are finite and I’m guessing that if everyone chose to use it there would be queues which would negate the advantage of it being free. Further to this haulage firms will no doubt calculate the speed of passage through London and pay the tolls and pass the cost on to their customers. Lorries containing hazardous chemicals aren’t allowed on the ferry so that a certain quantity of commercial traffic is guaranteed to be still using the tunnel crossings.

    Traffic coming off the ferry will be mostly routed through the A205 and A206 which are major arterial roads and as capable of handling the traffic as the A102 which now accommodates traffic from both the Silvertown and Blackwall Tunnels.

    Also the Rotherhithe Tunnel is still free to use although it is within the congestion charge zone.







  • The endless cycle of government:

    Business People: We are being strangled by regulation
    Politicians: We will free the creative genius of the nation by making a bonfire of red-tape
    Everyone: Oh no! lack of regulation means all the business people are turning the environment to shit!
    Politicians: We will toughen regulation to protect the environment and the population again.
    Business People: Waaaaaah! Throws rattle out of pram.

    (That’s enough endless cycle - ed.)
