Well one way it’s a bridge so that would be a bit confusingThey also need to call it “The Dartford Tunnel online toll fee” or something obvious. I seriously hadn’t made the connection at all!
I forgot to pay and they let me off the first time. Had to fight for it though, very stressful!That’s really not obvious at all! I bet non locals are caught out all the time!
Also the site wasn’t working on Safari, I had to open another browser to put my card details in.
What do people without smartphones do?
The fuck?Well one way it’s a bridge so that would be a bit confusing
You go north through the Dartford tunnel and South over the Queen Elizabeth bridge, which together make the Dartford crossing (or properly called the Dartford-Thurrock crossing, since obviously it's on both sides of the river).The fuck?
The fuck?
I saw a bridge. I know Edinburgh, so I’m used to the notion of several bridges next to each other crossing the same river. It never occurred to me one would be northbound and the other southbound! (Notions, incidentally, that were introduced on signage on the M25, which I frankly didn’t understand on a road that must be either clockwise or anti-clockwise, surely?)you might not have noticed it if you were in the tunnel
the bridge has been there since 1991, it's usually used for southbound traffic and the tunnel for northbound

I may have expressed myself badly.There aren't several bridges next to each other - the nearest one is Tower Bridge.
From Edinburgh to Fife, across the Forth, there are the Forth Rail Bridge, the Forth Road Bridge, and the Queensferry Crossing, right next to each other.
The First Firth of Forth Bridge is the Forth Rail Bridge, the Second Firth of Forth Bridge is the Kincardine Bridge, the Third Firth of Forth Bridge is the Forth Road Bridge, the Fourth Firth of Forth Bridge is the Clackmannanshire Bridge, and the Fifth Firth of Forth Bridge is the Queensferry Crossing.otherwise known as the first, second and third, forth bridges?

Queen Elizabeth I of England was recognised by Scots as Queen of England. She was, however, not Queen of Scotland. Her immediate successor, James VI of Scotland, son of Mary Queen of Scots, was king of Scotland and of England (the first monarch to be monarch of both countries). He is therefore James I (of England) & VI (of Scotland), or James I & VI for short.IIRC that’s what quimcunx wanted the new one to be called - the QE first and second third Forth bridge. Something about Picts not recognising good queen Bess.

Trips off the tongue.I think I finally settled on the Queen Elizabeth the First or Second Third or Fifth Firth of Forth road bridge.
Quicker to paint it than say itI think I finally settled on the Queen Elizabeth the First or Second Third or Fifth Firth of Forth road bridge.
Now 'simplified' so that whichsoever is the greater regnal number takes precedence. Hence, a James ascending the throne will be James VIII, not James III.Queen Elizabeth I of England was recognised by Scots as Queen of England. She was, however, not Queen of Scotland. Her immediate successor, James VI of Scotland, son of Mary Queen of Scots, was king of Scotland and of England (the first monarch to be monarch of both countries). He is therefore James I (of England) & VI (of Scotland), or James I & VI for short.
Since the late Queen Elizabeth II was only the first Queen Elizabeth of Scotland, she should have been called Elizabeth II & I, as the precedent set by her forerunner, James, had it.
There was no Queen Elizabeth of Scotland before QEII. While I don’t approve of monarchy, the arithmetic illogicality of the first Queen Elizabeth of Scotland being Queen Elizabeth II makes my brain itch. And I’m deeply sorry you reminded me.
This goes to show you should never assume anythingOh, what is Darts charge? At one point there were a lot of signs saying you can pay Darts charge online. What is that? There was no website given and no real explanation. Only a lot of signs saying something like “pay Darts charge online”.
I always prefered Darts to Showaddywaddy, but I’m guessing this is something different.
