I hope I am not the only person in London and surrounding counties who despises this mayor of London? I truly believe that he has made London, the place I love and know, a dreadful place to live and work. If your a tourist, then you are welcome and actively encouraged to visit the once greatest city in the world. But if you live or work there then you might as well illegally immigrate to Andorra, because you will be more welcome and appreciated.
Now, my main moan about Mr Ken Livingstone is the congestion charge. The dreaded 'C' word. EIGHT BLOODY POUNDS!!! to sit in traffic and watch all the tourists wander around taking pictures of the million and one red buses or million and two black cabs. When it was FIVE pounds it was just about acceptable and affordable but know...well I should start marrying illegal immigrants for cash so I can afford to drive thru central London to get to work. I work anti social hours sometimes starting as early as 6am and finishing well after 11pm. I work in the entertainment business, and I currently do it because I enjoy it...but that's starting to wear off with the extra expense of living in London. Since Mr Ken Livingstone came to the helm my outgoing bills and general day to day living costs have gone up and I haven't seen ANY benefit to me or my family. This is just the 1st entry of my new blog site, and I can assure you there will be many more things to moan about! Mr Ken Livingstone is just the start.
