Well Prescott wouldn't miss £5 a day if he had to pay it - as I said, that's the flaw to this. For someone on his money the cost should be a whole lot higher than £5.

Meself I think it'd have been better to ban all private cars in th area, with exeptions for Orange Badges, and some essential jobs with funnybhours (not politicians). The scheme is supposed to cost at least £85 million a year, which isn't far short of what it's supposed to bring in in revenues (though maybe that's after taking out that £85 million from the takings). But that wouldn't have been allowed.

Buses used to be a great way of getting round London. Maybe they will be again. But trolley buses were even better.
