Did you know that there is a Company taking congestion charge payments which is not the official website and takes a fee for doing the payment on your behalf which is about ?6. Surely that shouldn't be legal, but according to CC London it is as they are doing the payment for you. The offical website is

The one that want to rip you off is this one, they may be more though:

Seems like quite a good one to me, if people actually pay them money for doing very little!

the website does state it's not official and will charge a fee - but it's not in big text, and it's not in the red callout NB text.


It's in a relatively chunky block of text which I'm guessing many people skim-read if at all, assuming all else looks ok having looked at the large, bold and coloured text


It's there, but it's cheeky IMO

I am offering a services from today going forward where I will organise tickets for the ED Folk Club (Goose) for a mere ?20 per ticket. This includes all services/costs and entrance to the gig itself. NOTE: I am not the official Goose ticket outlet. Prices may vary according to the mark-up I fancy making / who's playing.

Please PM me for bookings.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
