Up to the Smoke

by deadheaduk @ Thursday, 16. Feb, 2006 - 00:25:26

Cor Blimey guv'nor went up to Londahn today to drop off the trouble and the dustbin lids...

Sorry can't keep that up!!

As I was saying I went up to London to drop Sarah and the kids at Kings Cross so they could get the train up norf to stay with my Dad for a few days. When I go into London I'm usually working and hence everything like travel, parking, congestion charging etc gets paid by the company.

Today however it was a bit of a shock to find it cost me as much as Sarah's train ticket to park for an hour while I helped her to the train. The minimum charge in the car park was £8 - highway robbery if you ask me.

Then I had to drive round the houses to avoid going into the congestion charging zone and having to pay another £8.

We left home at 10am and I got to the office at 2:15 so a total of 4 1/4 hours - I can drive to bloody Sunderland in 6 hours!!

Its a nightmare innit! I dont travel into the city by car anymore...its just ludicrous... and as much as it pains me, i'd rather travel by public transport then pay tht FEE.

I hope they got there safely and are enjoying their time away from you! ;)
