Hopefuls gather at the bus-stop at 09.25, and should a bus come along, say to the driver "Am I too early" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been on a bus since 1972 in Jersey, and we had waited for it for so long when I got off I walked straight into a car hire place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 It looks like in Oxford the Greedy Greens are planning a similar tax on suv/4x4 parking. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/suv-drivers-to-pay-more-to-park-in-oxford-under-green-party/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 25 Author Report Share Posted March 25 Awful place for driving and parking. Went in once on a Monday morning when I worked nearby. NEVER again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to Oxford by train, and also by Park and Ride - both of which were OK. I don't visit these big towns/cities now (unless I have to which would be rare) now I'm retired. Visitors by car are in effect made unwelcome - so there are plenty of other places to go where they welcome visitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
