    Dart Charge price change from 01/09/2025

    How much are the charges going up by?

    Charges are increasing by up to 40%. This means the charge for cars will rise from £2.50 to £3.50 (or £2.80 for account holders).

    That seems fair.

    I hate this country.

    you are in the minority, millions and millions of asylum seekers cant all be wrong.

    You quoted 'millions and millions of asylum seekers', that is not the same as net migration. most of which is legal.

    It’s not the closing for lunch that annoys me, as I’m used to it, but not putting the correct hours on google. 
    This is especially necessary in France because some shops close on Mondays, others on Tuesdays.  
    Also many days for the same shop have different opening and closing hours.
    Putting this clearly on google is most necessary in France.
    I should get a medal for taking pictures of the real opening hours and sending them to google so their clients are better informed.

    This is the last one I corrected when I turned up on a Saturday at 13.10 when it had said that it was open. I corrected it, drove to another garden centre and waited there instead because at least, although closed, I had been forewarned.

    To be fair mate, if they've been open for that long they're due a break.

    I moved back to UK 3 years ago, and thought lunchtime closing was virtually phased out, especially with newly opened businesses and staff on newer contracts (staggered lunch breaks), but there's 2 DIY shops recently opened near my house and they both close for lunch pmsl.

    When pigeons sit in the bird bath. 

    They are absolutely filthy and leave the water grubby with an oily film floating on the top.  To make matters worse, I really scrubbed this out last night - only to find this flying rat waddling over first thing to pollute it.

    Put an old, large pre 1990, two pence coin in water, helps keep it clean.
    Lots of copper in it

    Oh come on - it's a bird bath and he's a bird. How is he supposed to know there's a door policy? You need to put up a sign...

    When something's attempted to be sold to you as something to enjoy as part of a sales pitch which isn't actually a perk, in particular by the club.

    "Those who tune in will be able to enjoy single-camera coverage, with replays, from Princes Park"

    Might be me being picky but surely people would enjoy multi-camera coverage instead of single-camera. Could just say single-camera coverage will be provided with replays?

    Like when you look at the corporate brochure packages and you get to enjoy a cash-bar as part of the package. Wouldn't you be enjoying a complimentary drink rather than enjoying paying for your drink. Again could just say cash-bar provided etc.

    I reckon the conversion of the heathens to minutes spent spouting bollocks ratio must be one of the lowest figures known to man.

    Thames Water adjusting my monthly payment to £0:00 as I'm well in credit, then chasing me to remit it. Idiots.
    I have tried, but their system can't cope with payment of nothing. I'll let them fret.

    Change of plan - I paid them a penny. Processing cost will be more than that. Ha!
