London congestion charge rises again

[alfatwo]

I've never had a problem with Southerners', they're always quite happy to drive the 100mls or so up the M1 to get lots better service from an ex hooligan who knows what he's doing. instead of getting scanked as you do down the smoke!

I was rather referring to the ones that have to live there, that make the city actually work as a functioning city. Earning **** wages and paying far too much for everything there, particularly rent.
Out of town tradesmen obvs charge more for going there to work; theres demand enough for Northerners to go there to do a job, charge double normal rates plus fuel and board while they work there; but I know who a few who've given up going there for jobs, just too much hassle, time away from home, and time lost travelling to even make it worth it for the London rates

Correct me if I am wrong but people living within the congestion charge (can’t be that many serfs in a position to afford that) aren’t paying £15 a day but more like £1 a day w their annual subscription. The others will still be raising their prices if they have to go in the C-charge area.
