Charging cars travelling per mile in the UK? Doesn't it cost enough already - purchase car, MOT, insurance, fuel, parts & stuff? Surely we pay plenty of Tax in there already?

I got a new (ish) car in February this year specifically for pulling the caravan to Folk Festivals in the UK. Despite having it back in the garage for long periods due to a major auto gearbox problem I have managed to do 10,000 miles already this year.

Looking at the amount of festivals we've been to in that time (virtually every weekend) I can safely say that at least 6,000 miles of that was Folk-related. There is no way I can do that if this 'charge per mile' is enforced & I guess most UK Folkies will be in the same boat.

So, does this herald the end of UK Folk Festivals?
