I bet you wouldn't want to pay the Congestion Charge to drive in London these days even on your above average higher rate taxed pension.

Cheers soops (and maybe a wee chaser?)

The congestion charge does not apply at the weekend.
I hope the Royal Family pay it.
They should pay £100 per mile for their large cars.

For those who remember the old, rather jaded areas of Campbeltown, you would be amazed at the many improvements that have been made, thanks to the lottery fund.
