Shopping £3.40, parking £4.50.

A Conservative policy review is to suggest that supermarkets should be obliged to charge customers for parking. What a nerve! But wait - the review stresses that "charges would be no greater than the amount people would pay in the nearest town centre". So that's all right then - just an arm and a leg! This connects somewhat with yesterday's post - there's an increasing tendency these days for politicians to use the concept of being "green" to interfere more and more in how we live our lives - and I for one don't like it.
