In 66 years I've never known anything like it. Plus St James, Haymarket, Coventry Street... very confusing for us oldies.

Was there today. The building/road works don't help either.

The Regent Palace site development has been going on for years.

5?

And the traffic is murder in this area.

The Congestion Charge (which, perhaps, you don't pay - JK) now seems to be accepted as part of normal life.

Nobody even complains anymore.

"Piccadilly Goes Both Ways" sounds like PG Wodehouse's long-lost homoerotic story.

The congestion charge is there for a good reason to cut congestion and pollution on the roads. There are far too many cars on the road in city centres in particular. Kids are growing up with ashtma, not to mention climate change and global warming. There are these things under the ground called tube trains that the less lazy of us tend to use when we're in London. People that complain about the congestion charge are not really looking at the bigger picture.

always use the tube when I'm London, I abhor the traffic and I have noticed that it was glorious when the congestion charge first came in but is gradually getting back to what it was.

things like a 'congestion charge' are just temporary stop gaps unless the money is is used to develop some new 'method'

wish those aliens would come and solve all this.
