I would love to sell my car, when my old car packed in I wasnt going to buy a new 1, but the family moaned cos they thought they were losing Dads Taxi.

I‘m retired, I should have all the time in the world enjoying life but spend over 3 hours each day ferrying around my wife, son and granddaughter. Something for you to look forward to……
 

I'm see the government are thinking up more ways of fleecing the motorist under the guise of saving the planet.
You were warned nearly 60yrs ago

"...If you drive a car, I'll tax the street.
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat.
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet
Taxman..."



The proper version - not remastered by some kid who thinks he's better than his dad !

I mean, would you let Van Gogh's lad come around with his box of paints from Argos and start touching up the yellows on your Sun Flower picture, or have Lowrys kid start dabbing a bit more black on your 'kin Matchstick Men?

Oi, You, Giles Martin - No !

Not that it affects me thankfully, but the expansion of the ULEZ in London straight after a pandemic and in the midst of a cost of living crisis is callous.

It’s caused self employed builders everywhere scrambling to scrape £10k together so they can buy a compliant van with 100k+ miles.

Only a matter of time before Liverpool and Chester etc. have similar restrictions.

Yep, once Genghis Khan starts raking in the money they will all do it while showing everyone their shiny environment badges. Never mind prattling along about small boats, if Sunak really wanted to win the next election he would call an immediate stop to this rip off…..

Most of the white van owners on my estate seem to live the life of millionaires. Tax? Ha!

I live in South London, outside the North Circular Road, so not in the new ULEZ, but changed my diesel car for a petrol. I get less MPG but don't need to worry about going inside the zone when visiting my mum in North London. My brother is a self-employed plumber and tiler. He also lives in North London, also outside the zone (200 yards outside the NCR) but his work takes him all over London. He used a diesel Ford Transit Connect but recently went all the way to Darlington to buy a petrol Skoda Superb estate because he was paying too much in ULEZ charges.
