You were almost rote learning out of a book.

It's just so different now.

I just think when in this country is anything ever short term, though, it's really difficult to put the toothpaste back in the tube if you start whacking on these charges.

I'm a commuter myself.

I don't use the M50 so much, but I use the M3 to get here today, you know, 180 four times because I hit two tolls on the way based in Meath.

If I want to go south side, if I need to go to the Beacon Hospital, for argument's sake, then I've got 180 times four, 260 times two.

You do the maths.

I'm not great at maths.

Along with my fuel costs, parking and all the other things on top of it.

A thing that annoys me, I suppose, in this argument.

You're talking possibly 20 quid on tolls and parking alone?

Easily.

To the point where I have to consider, and I'm not a particularly heavy road user.

I suppose I'd consider it moderate to heavy, but I'm not like on the road every day.

I maybe go to the office three times a week.

But we're not clogging up motorways for the crack.

And it's like this idea that people are stuck in traffic for leisure.

I mean, these are trips that are made out of necessity.

I looked at my e-flow bill before I came in here.

163 euro and 66 so far will be on my next bill.
