Default Too many smelly people in London

Use your own vehicle then

You'll have to pay an extra £5:00 per day CONgestion tax (more than

probably
rising to £10:00 if you don't vote Londons 'Mare, Mad Ken Living****e

out
in
June) and about £20 a day for parking in central London

You'll get snide looks and abusive remarks from trendy neo-leftists &
Hippies on rusty push-bikes who'll think you're the anti-Christ

BUT.........

You'll enjoy a seamles Door-to-door service


Or nearest parking space you can find at either end of your journey.


The only **** you'll smell is your own ****


You obviously haven't been near Barking reach or the farm next to the A13
near the Basildon turnoff!


You get to chose your own music

You can make eye-contact with your fellow commuters without them

thinking
you're about to murder them

You set your own temperature (providing you have a decent enough

vehicle)


Only if you have aircon, but then you'll still be inhaling more toxic fumes
than you would on the Underground.

You are the master of your own destiny and not at the mercy of :


[loads snipped]

Instead you'll be stuck in traffic jams that appear for no good reason. Be
subject to traffic signal failures, aggressive drivers, cyclists who think
red lights don't apply to them and people who think your windscreen could do
with extra smears from some dirty water and attempt to charge you for this!
Don't forget, you're more at risk of car-jacking whilst you're driving a car
than you are whilst travelling by tube!
