Default [OT] 4x4 cars on London streets

The PM is hardly representative or comparable to "business men". I
don't know what you mean by "business man" but I'm guessing there's too
many of them to cater for aI'm afraid, and frankly they're not
important enough to concede to (unlike the PM).


So where do you draw the line?

At people with "Minister" in their job title.
"Junior Minister"
Managing Director of a PLC
Director of any registered Company
People called "Sales Manager" of a company with more than 1000 employees

....

Door to door? There's parking space outside every door in London
now? Central London?

Close enough for most of the purposes we are discussing. And an
awful lot of the cars in *central* London have drivers.


I really do not believe this. How many people work in the City? How
many people park there? I'd be surprised if the figure is as much as
10%.


A lot of them are driven to work, or drive to work. Otherwise this
conversation would not exist.
