    To be fair Shafted, I fail to understand who anyone, thick or with a bit of brains, would fail to know about the Charge.

    It's even been on Eastenders
    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical

    You've hit the nail on the head mate. I've heard of Eastenders and I've heard of the congestion charge and understand. The where, what, when, who and how etc. I didn't have a clue.

    I'd heard of the M6 Toll, when I used it, it was clear what to do and I paid it. If there'd been a meter I'd have paid then. Like I said getting a bill OK but a £60 penalty notice is criminal.

    I object to being called stupid and a liar - I am neither.

    Did it not occur to you to do a bit of research before hand though?

    no Reggie - why should he? After all TFL should have had a flunky waiting to direct him to a place to pay the charge. Which he never saw a sign for, or a big C in red on the road, course he didn't need to do some research first, after all he never got charged the last time.

    No point in asking if he realised the difference between the M6 Toll, a straight bit of road, and an area in the centre of the biggest city in the country with numerous entrances and exits then?

    Isn't it amazing how people can get things wrong isn't it!

    You seem to have managed it quite well.

    Look it's very good of you to waste your holiday instructing me researching the congestion charge, but if I were you I'd enjoy it while you can.
