And why would i know that? Not read owt about it in the DT, not been mentioned on Radio Sheff news, Look North or Calendar.
Sometimes people who live in London think they are at the centre of the universe and what is in the Evening Standard or on BBC London is repeated around the country 'cos we need to know as uou are all so important.

to be fair, to many in London they think that in the same way as Southampton is the end of the country one way, Northampton is the other way

Just a quick heads up to anyone driving down to future London area games and using the tube station, or any other parking at Stanmore, that this area is now, albeit just, in the ULEZ zone and therefore if you enter it, even though it’s for a matter of a few hundred yards at most you are liable to the daily charge if your car does not meet the criteria. My son recently found this out on a trip to London and received two penalty notices ..£90 per day driving in the zone.. totalling £180. Thankfully after representation to TFL and basically pleading that being from Derbyshire he was unaware the scheme extended that far and the inclusion of various vehicles, both true, they’ve revoked the fines at their discretion.
Just be aware that the zone really does go out a long way.

You genuinely hadn’t heard of Ulez?

Yes I"d heard about ULEZ but I didn't know it had been extended to include Stanmore.

Lol ok!
Everyone surely knows that the Ulez is the whole inner M25 now?

There’s enough people from outside London (more than inside) slagging off Mayor Khan over it! (Despite it being Boris Johnson’s idea….)

Having poked fun at the original poster, Get your facts right. The ULEZ only covers London Boroughs, so in some areas extends beyond the M25 and in other areas is well inside the M25. Using the M25 is a poor and lazy analogy. Living on the boundary its a pain in the bottom.
