Blog ≫ 2003 ≫ Congestion Charge

What a pain, just sorted the congestion charge 1 for my brother in law 2 who is driving up to London and has decided to cut through. He's a registered disabled so he should be exempt, BUT to qualify for the exemption he has to fill in a form and send it off, can't do it online, and it'd cost a tenner to process it. SO, it works out cheaper to just pay the charge. Bit of a crappy system really, if it wasn't such a money spinner TfL 3 could easily merge in the existing Blue Badge holder database automatically. Nice one!

Today:

+PopEx admin, got 48 pages of junk mails etc to go through, trying forwarding popex mail through another account to get rid of spam

Nice one, this site is now the fifth entry that comes up if you search for Stoke Newington on Google 4 or the second if you search for stokey... google-watch.com eat your heart out 5...
