Oh well, I suppose we have to start paying for it sometime. Congestion charge in London being brought back in from Monday, going up from £11.50 to £15 , will now be extended to 10pm and for 7 days (was previously just weekdays to 6pm) so will catch everybody coming home from work |

Bit odd that when they are also telling people to try and avoid using public transport.

Our politicians want people back to work.

"There is so much money tied up in government excise that beer is actually worth more going down the drain and getting the excise back than if they hold onto it and try to sell it later,"

We're NHS and shift handover time generally 0630/0700 and 1830/1900 so all the staff working inside the zone who need to drive in will now get caught as no exemption yet been given. This was sprung upon our management at the same time as the rest of the country, no advance warning or consultation. Oh well, staff will just have to revert to public transport and arrive late - nothing important ongoing after all Or pay £60pw to get there on time |

£60 a week or use public transport at the minute - not a difficult choice! Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Lot of staff unable to get into work on time for an early shift on a Sunday in particular as no public transport that time of day; similarly can't easily get home before 0700.

My daughters partner has been told that he will be back to work soon, they have a 8mth old girl that will have to go to nursery four days a week as she can't come to us according to the government, so that's £200.00 a week they will have to find!!!! Common sense isn't very common.

We've been exempted but have to pay up and reclaim through our payroll system, so could be 2-3 weeks before getting reimbursed. Will hit some of those on tight budgets |

The Indy I use reopened on Monday, albeit in phases, to allow the staff to work safely 'socially distanced' in the workshop. I gather though that their local main dealer about 5 miles away has been open for several weeks.
