Subject: RE: Folklore: UK Charge per mile = end of Fests?
Instead of worrying ourselves silly because we're obsessed with our cars (yes, I've got one too!), what about starting a petition instead in support of those who've just had their train fares increased by whopping amounts? I recently read in the Kent Messenger that tickets from Staplehurst to London are to be increased by 11%! If you increase motoring costs by a fraction of that amount, you get the industry-backed road lobby screaming blue murder and threatening disruption.
