When I moved to Thamesmead people told me I was the wrong side of London and having realised that it takes about an hour to drive to the point where I&#8217;m really escaping the confines of greater London, I see their point. It add insult to injury to have to pay each time, but thankfully it&#8217;s not a journey I make often and the prices are kind of okay when compared to the M6 fees.<\/p>\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.39 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad1\" id=\"quads-ad1\" style=\"float:none;margin:5px;\">\n\n <!-- WP QUADS - Quick AdSense Reloaded v.2.0.39 Content AdSense async --> \n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" >\nvar quads_screen_width = document.body.clientWidth;\nif ( quads_screen_width >= 1140 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-5465671415307957\" data-ad-slot=\"5861226924\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }if ( quads_screen_width >= 1024  && quads_screen_width < 1140 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-5465671415307957\" data-ad-slot=\"5861226924\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }if ( quads_screen_width >= 768  && quads_screen_width < 1024 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-5465671415307957\" data-ad-slot=\"5861226924\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }if ( quads_screen_width < 768 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-5465671415307957\" data-ad-slot=\"5861226924\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }\n<\/script>\n\n <!-- end WP QUADS --> \n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The latest letter detailed changes to the terms and conditions of using the bridge. In horrendous detail with no clarity whatsoever. It&#8217;s as though somebody tidied up some grammar and made a few other odd changes and then somebody went through and made a list of all the changes. &#8220;Added a comma after the word &#8216;and&#8217;..&#8221; for example. Then they put it in an envelope and sent it to me. If they are hiding desperately important changes in the midst of a sea of irrelevance then it&#8217;s worked, I couldn&#8217;t be bothered to read all the way through, and yet I think I&#8217;m deemed to have accepted the terms. Not that it matters, there&#8217;s no sensible route north in this country when you start at Thamesmead and want to avoid the Dartford Crossing, so I&#8217;m stuck with it anyway.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right after committing to regular updates, I got ill and didn&#8217;t post last week.
