Forth and Tay road tolls abolished

[Mark]

Meanwhile, down sarrrf, the Darford crossing goes up from £1 to £1.50 for cars from April

Oh great, my trip to France just got £1 more expensive!

And gone is the get a pound out and chuck it in, now you have to get two coins, just like they did with the Tyne Tunnel.

It does seem England gets the rough side of the stick alot of the time by not having a parliament

It's not to do with having a parliament, it's because Scotland gets much more funding than England. That and a government that seemingly wants to make life nicer for its residents, rather than the westminister lot (of all colours) who seemingly want to make things worse across the board

Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish parliaments deal exclusively with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The parliament in London deals with everybody. As England has no parliament to represent solely England, in some cases we miss out.

I can only really talk about Wales, but in Wales there is no prescription charges, University is cheaper for welsh people in Wales, Scottish people don't even get charged to go to uni in Scotland. I'm sure there are advantages to living in England, though

It was very strange driving straight through the other day. Even stranger because I used the new link road to the bridge for the first time.

[Mark]

All the times I was able to go to Knockhill for free I had to deal with the A8000 and tolls on the Forth Bridge. Now that I can't go there for free there is a motorway bypass and no tolls

[J4MIE]

You can take the scenic route to Knockhill around my house Mark and I would be happy to accept a toll

[Iain]

Now that is scenic. It's on the wrong side of Fife.
