There is no excuse for collecting money for fuel surcharges. That's not what it is being used for. That's just dishonest and fraudulent.

Yes Paul. We've been paying for the 3 mile tunnel under the River Mersey for 50 years. It was supposed to be free 2 years ago - fully paid for. We're still paying now - with an increase to subsidise better public transport. Again - I smell a rat in the kitchen. A greedy one as well

Gumbo was visiting the lovely Ljubljana Cathedral, dedicated to the patron saint of fishermen and boatmen. The church has a beautiful Baroque interior.
