A survey came up on my computer from My London, I have no idea who they are but made an effort to answer the questions as I thought this would give me an opportunity to voice my dislike of the London ULEZ charge.
Sadly I only got as far as question four where there was no option suitable for me to continue.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT ULEZ AS EXPANSION ARRIVES?
Are you in favour of London’s
ULEZ expanding?
NO
Do you agree with people
damaging ULEZ cameras to show their opposition?
YES
Have you used the scrappage
scheme, and have you found it fair?
HAVEN’T USED
If Londoners had to be charged
for driving in the capital, which system would you prefer?
£12.50 daily charge for drivers (ULEZ scheme)
Pay-by-minute system for drivers
Pay-by-mile system for drivers
Select an option.
I was looking for the option of; It’s a very unfair tax and we shouldn’t have to pay it at all as we pay enough tax for the privilege of driving our cars already but it wasn’t there so I could see no point in continuing with their survey as they obviously didn’t want to hear any answers that did not fit with their agenda.
Without putting too fine a point on it, this is bloody typical of the contempt the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has for the rest of us drivers who might have to drive to London.
He on the other hand swans about in a luxury Range Rover which obviously runs on clouds or reindeer fluff which has no polluting effect on the London air whatsoever.

About The Diary of a Country Bumpkin
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
