Yes, however a bridge is a large structure requiring extensive maintenance, that happens to also have a road on top of it. A mile long bridge will cost a stload more to maintain than a mile long road. Also, if it's a private company then how do they get funded indirectly or otherwise by us, if it wasn't for a toll?

Oddly bridges in Scotland (see Skye Bridge for instance) are now toll free. Even though they also require regular maintenance - like the Erskine Bridge which still has toll booths. But no tolls.

Make sure your coat has plenty of pockets to hide your pop and sweets.

Cinema "experience", eh! People farting, walking past you, talking etc. Awful for the most part.

I'd like to nominate hosepipe if I may. £30 for 50 metres of basic pipe with no ends on. What the juddering fk? Cost to them about 50p when you look at the 15ft high reel it comes on from the factory.
