I guess you don't travel overseas, from Britain, much, huh?
About 20 years ago, Her Majesty laid down a tax for departing from England (and Scotland, presumably) to overseas locations ....
It's a more or less a fixed sum, but, depends a great deal on your destination, and the fare you're paying.

It's pinpointed in a bunch of maps, RE ... you might even find it in your own world atlas ....
The source feeds a bunch of tributaries ... and one of those eventually becomes - Big Mo!
