from today until after Christmas the K50 park and ride scheme is in
place. Parking is at Chessington World of Adventures and frequent buses
run to Eden Street in Kingston. Parking is free and the bus fare is
£1.50 return.

The park and ride is a) miles away through rotten traffic. b)notorious
for car break ins. c)not very nice after dark if you are alone

Is it cheaper to deal with the broken windows and stolen car stereos
than to pay the 15 quid in John Lewis and be in a well lit dry manned
parking place?

I was only offering a sensible alternative. I don't drive but even if I
did I would not dream of going to Kingston by car.

Bus and train services are perfectly adequate and have the advantage of
not costing anything like £15 for parking.
