Ah but I would imagine a Kadjar guzzles gas at a faster rate than the non SUV variants of it that it shares a chassis with such as a Megane?

I’m trying to meet yous with the daily mail blinkers on in the middle here mate.

If they’re going to start charging more for heavier cars they should start taking tyre size / footprint into account, heavy electric cars with hard skinny tyres causing more road wear. Anything with 300+ wide tyres should get a rebate for helping smooth out the roads

Despite cars getting 'bigger' they aren't really getting larger on the inside. There is just more and more 'stuff' between the occupants and the outside world.

I went to park on a regular on-street bay for 1 hour, opened RingGo, added the bay number (61562) which said about £7 an hour, went through to the final screen and it said £14.25. For one hour, because diesel. On a residential street in Islington. FML.

Islington parking charges are mad, and by my kids school a traffic warden walks by every 3-5 minutes 8am-6.30pm!

Its much cheaper to either pre-book at The Barbican £15 gets you about six hours, or a private parking space on Just Park.

I did a bathroom in Islington a few years back, parked the van about 6:30, permits needed from 7, realised I’d not out the parking permit out and ran down to find a ticket on the windscreen at 7:03

They were standing by your van from about 5 to

Yup, not being from London and the passes being some weird scratchcard thing we were unfamiliar with, we collared the next traffic warden we saw (literally just 10 mins later ) to ask if we’d done it right- never seen someone look like they’ve shit their pants so quickly, guess they’re not used to encountering polite northerners asking questions without threatening them
