    Probably not the place for it but I shall point out that the 00s were going swimmingly until the cunts at Goldman Sachs and others of a similar bent made a shedload of cash out of turning the housing market into a massive casino and then stuck taxpayers the world over with the bill in the '08 crash and the global economy has been pretty much fucked ever since.

    It’s Goldman Sachs. Those board members should be in prison.

    I love that millennials and Zoomers are like this. I don’t need to have the phone call but I do need the answer now. So I tell them: “Don’t make me call you…”

    Usually get a suitable text answer within five minutes.






  • The ferry spaces are finite and I’m guessing that if everyone chose to use it there would be queues which would negate the advantage of it being free. Further to this haulage firms will no doubt calculate the speed of passage through London and pay the tolls and pass the cost on to their customers. Lorries containing hazardous chemicals aren’t allowed on the ferry so that a certain quantity of commercial traffic is guaranteed to be still using the tunnel crossings.

    Traffic coming off the ferry will be mostly routed through the A205 and A206 which are major arterial roads and as capable of handling the traffic as the A102 which now accommodates traffic from both the Silvertown and Blackwall Tunnels.

    Also the Rotherhithe Tunnel is still free to use although it is within the congestion charge zone.
