OT The best things in life are free

I only found out after I had driven through the zone by mistake.

Of the many things you could say about CC zone signage, "subtle" and "hidden" is not high on the list.

[Tim Streater]

You mean you don't exist?

I'm in my fourth reincarnation.

It depends where you go, I've had good fish and chips here, as well as good pints. I've also had truly awful fish suppers and beer, just as bad as some of the worst in Yorkshire and Lancashire.

And on the borders of Clapham:-

Sadly, Young's are no longer in Wandsworth.

[John Williamson]

*Which* Southern accent? There are many of them.

I've also heard the Brummie accent called the worst in the world, with about as much justification, and with the same generality.

[Nightjar]

The zone hadn't existed the previous time I had driven that route through London. By the time I remembered it, it was too late to find an alternative and still get where I was going on time.

I'd love to say I don't know how to pay my income tax - and get away without paying.

But you managed to miss the congestion charge signs?

Only in reply to stupid posts.

When are you coming back as a sophisticated southerner?

[dennis]

So if you drive through it then you need to phone up and pay. If you pay they don't issue a ticket.

There was a pub down in Fulham I used to go to years ago, the barman there was amazing you could give him an order to around 15 drinks he'd remember the lot and could tell you the price the moment you'd finished giving him the order no one caught him out;!...

And the beer was superb, Fullers London pride ..

Could tell you a tale of some ale consumed right across the road from the Adnams Southwold brewery and the prat consuming was daft enough to go swimming afterwards;!..

Mind you some of us were listening to the trains with an ear to the rails for a silly bet after some pints of Theakstons old Peculier but this was many many years ago now;!..

I missed one out near Willesden some while ago, just needed to turn around so swung of into this side road, drove to the next possible place to turn around so in and out of the CZ within less than 30 seconds didn't even see the sign, bloody great Van in the way .. appealed but no joy;(...

Awww .. it's neat!, hope theres another series of Peaky Blinders before long, liked that characters in that:)...

[Robin]

Tried the the tour of the Fuller's brewery in Chiswick? The brewery is nothing special but the tastings at the end can be very good value (so long as you are not driving of course).

[Nightjar]

I paid online.

Noted .. on the liste;!...

[The Natural Philosopher]

I drove through it and nothing happened....

[Mr Pounder]

Don't be silly.

Thus you admit to replying to what you consider to be stupid people. Why do you do this stupid thing?

[Mr Pounder]

I have control over my reincarnations. The words "sophisticated" and "southerner" do not compute.
