So you no longer go to the centre of London?

I recommended you lie down a few minutes ago on another newsgroup- time
for you to do the same in this one.

It could (I stress could) result in a better transport infrastructure.

So you still drive into the centre of London despite the charge. If
someone is so inclined to drive to Manchester from London, they will. If
it puts someone _off_ driving, then that's good.

sorry, doorbell.

sometimes I still drive in, sometimes I go elsewhere. Sometimes I go
at weekends. I understand a lot of business has switched from the West
End Dept stores to places like Bluewater.

I don't see the connection. No one other than the rich tend to _drive_
to the west end to shop.
