Not sure, and I don't drive so it doesn't affect me, but what Britain is crying out for is an affordable rail network. I mean, petrol is rapidly approaching a quid a litre - that's about $8 per gallon, anyone care to compare that to US prices for me? - and the government is happy to up duty just a little with every budget, because it's a "green" tax, and therefore acceptable, just like increasing duty on booze and fags. If our rail network was getting noticeably better and/or cheaper, I could see the fairness of it, but that's the trouble with this government, it's all stick and no carrot.
Blimey, that was a sentence and a half, wasn't it? Edit: oh, it's actually two sentences. How disappointing.
