Ever since traffic congestion became an issue the government of the day has tried all sorts of means to dissuade us from using our cars, or price us out of them, whilst at the same time swanning around in gas guzzling limos. This latest suggestion of charging for parking at supermarkets is just one more attempt in a long line of tries.

It was your good self who mentioned class in relation to these proposals. I personally think they are more likely to affect the well off, ie: the 4x4 driving yummy mummies, who drop their little darlings off at prep school, before popping to Tescos to buy some salmon for dinner.
I can't see these proposals going down too well with the Tories core supporters, and I'm happy to say that they will probably be a shooting themselves in the foot, with these 'green taxes'. Zac Goldsmith is turning into someone as stupid as his late father.
As for where the upper classes shop, pop into Waitrose or Safeway on the King's Road in Chelsea, and you'll see it filled to the rafters with Dowagers and assorted Hooray Henries.
