I won’t have made it through the day until it hits midnight or the thermostat drops below 25° C, whichever is soonest.
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.
Further to that, I’d just like to add: Fuck Nestle.
Quality title.

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 tea they consume is sweet tea which, though delicious, contains diabetes inducing amounts of sugar.

GLC@feddit.uktoUK Public Transport@feddit.uk•12,000 drivers a day are avoiding Blackwall and Silvertown tunnel tolls, TfL revealsEnglish2·29 days agoI think we shall have to wait and see what negative effects arise but I would say two things. Firstly, that the increase in uptake of bus journeys is a net good and secondly what a pleasure it has been to debate a subject like transport infrastructure, without hyperbole, and with someone who has both a personal interest and specific knowledge of the subject at hand. I’m having a little turn-of-the-century-style-internet moment.
GLC@feddit.uktoUK Public Transport@feddit.uk•12,000 drivers a day are avoiding Blackwall and Silvertown tunnel tolls, TfL revealsEnglish2·29 days agoThe 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.

Is there a scale?
How often does this have to be proven?
GLC@feddit.uktoUK Public Transport@feddit.uk•12,000 drivers a day are avoiding Blackwall and Silvertown tunnel tolls, TfL revealsEnglish2·30 days agoTraffic has to go somewhere and it’s better that it’s evenly distributed amongst the crossings than all building up in one place. Do you live in Woolwich?
GLC@feddit.uktoUK Public Transport@feddit.uk•12,000 drivers a day are avoiding Blackwall and Silvertown tunnel tolls, TfL revealsEnglish5·1 month agoThe ferry runs whether it’s full or not and pedestrians and cyclists ride for free. It’s a more efficient distribution of resources, if nothing else.
GLC@feddit.uktoUK Public Transport@feddit.uk•12,000 drivers a day are avoiding Blackwall and Silvertown tunnel tolls, TfL revealsEnglish5·1 month agoTfL data also found that the number of people taking buses that travel through the tunnels has increased.
On an average day, 20,000 passengers use the 108, and the new 129 and Superloop 4 buses, with 7,000 journeys involving crossing the river using one of the tunnels
And
However, TfL said it was aware of some increased traffic volumes at other river crossings, including the Woolwich Ferry.
So… good?
