You appear to made a significant lifestyle choice in the
characteristics of your residence.


Such as not earning enough, you mean?

In Central London, unless you have a million or more to spare, all you
get is a flat or terraced house, and while there may be a car park
under the block, installing a charger in "your" parking slot is likely
to be forbidden.

Of course, housing is cheaper in Birmingham or Manchester, but then
again, wages are much lower, so most of us will have the same problem
there.


There's plenty of places in between, where people have made the
lifestyle choice of a reasonable house, plus perhaps a 1hr each way
commute to London.


Or at least thats what they thought. Then they started using Thameslink.
