Don’t be so bloody miserable. This is chit chat where almost anything goes. The photos made me laugh even if you’re too miserable to.

It looks as though you’re not the only one to encounter problems with this bridge.
Debts of up to £3,000 are being run up by families because of a confusing bridge toll system, a charity claims.

The Big Help Project in Knowsley said people on low incomes and with mental health issues were being "pushed to the brink" by the Mersey Gateway Bridge's complex toll system.

The charity called for a fairer payment system and urged bailiffs not to be used so quickly to collect debts.

Merseyflow said it was looking at how to "improve the customer experience".

The company collects the £2 tolls each way on behalf of Halton Borough Council.

However, the £600m bridge, which runs between Runcorn and Widnes, has no toll booths, meaning drivers pay the charge online or in a shop within 24 hours of making their journey.

Drivers who forget to pay the toll face a £20 penalty charge notice.

'Exorbitant charges'

But The Big Help Project, which runs a debt advice and food bank service, said it had dealt with many drivers who had faced much higher debts, including a man whose son used his car without permission and racked up debts of £624 and a woman who owes £2,990.

The charity said many people did not willingly forget to pay the toll, but found the system confusing, difficult to keep up with or did not have access to the internet to pay straight away.

Charity chief executive Peter Mitchell called on the Labour-run borough council to stop sending out bailiffs immediately and urged them to use a fairer payment system.

He said a toll barrier was necessary to "stop these exorbitant charges".

However an email from the council's chief executive David Parr, seen by the Local Democracy Reporting Service, said the Mersey Gateway had a "reasonable" tolling regime.

Halton residents and blue badge holders are eligible for discounts for the bridge through monthly passes and pre-pay accounts.

A spokesperson for Merseyflow said: "We are constantly working closely with our partners at the Mersey Gateway Crossings Board to look at ways of improving the customer experience and that includes exploring new initiatives and ways to pay."

Fantastic presentation, beautifully designed to commemorate a terrible tragedy.
Do I detect the use of Proshow Software (Producer?) in the making of this show?

Well, as I read the article, he flew half way across the English Channel, landed on a boat to refuel, then flew the rest of the way. Without a refueling barge floating permanently in the Channel, I think England's safe from invading hordes of flying Muslims for a bit longer.

I hope the potential illegal immigrants trying to get into the UK from France didn’t see this. They’ll all want one. 😁

Not another one who can’t work out that this is the chit chat section where anything that’s posted (within reason) gets discussed.

Dashlane also works fine for me and has none of the problems you raise either. I use the paid version which I think is well worth the money, being able to sync across devices. It has never let me down.

Buy a cheap colour lazer printer


I just love it when a poster asks a question and gets a totally irrelevant answer. I am pretty certain that buying a cheap colour lazer printer isn’t going to unclog the cartridge head, which is what was asked.

she's not flying the plane. The computer is.
You can hit the joystick with a baseball bat
and the computer will make a safe maneuver.
You can "fly" an Airbus with your left foot.

Apart from that:

Get a flight simulator program (for aircraft that are not
"fly by wire") and a joystick.
See which hand automatically goes to the joy stick.

You may be able to fly ok with your non dominant hand.
However, not so when the flight parameters are critical.

For example; A dogfight between a Fockewulf 190
and a MkI Spitfire, you wont be able to get the joystick
into your dominant hand quick enough... whether you've
chosen Zee machine vis zee Bayerische Motoren Werke kraftwerk,
or the Supermarine... Tally Ho! Jolly Hockey Sticks!
Make mine the Spitty thanks. Just so long as that Hun turns
I'll have him on his way to Valhalla.

Same goes for driving a car, suddenly ice or oil on a curve on a country road,
or a kid chases a ball onto the road in front of you. some klutz drives through
a red light etc etc etc. If you can only use one hand to avoid a collision, are you going to use
your non dominant hand to avoid death. If you do, you are suicidal or
homicidal or mentally impaired.

In a right hand drive car your dominant hand is on the wheel more
than in a left hand drive car... even if its an auto, there's
numerous buttons knobs and controls in the center console
to occupy your right hand in an automatic left hand drive car.
Your in real trouble if there's a damsel in the passenger seat
that requires attention.

These are the points that all the RHD nay sayers havnt realized or
have chosen to ignore.
Airbuses are "fly by wire", br she's not... (show quote)


Done a lot of dog fighting then have you. What a load of b*****ks
