Never to the dark side Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 No I ain't claiming this as my idea,as some one must have thought of it before me. When we visited Cardiff city last time,I mentioned why can you not pay in advance for the toll using a credit card This would then speed things up There could have been a pre-payment booth that the barrier was raised and lowered so the registration number of your car could be taken Any way the tolls are to be done away with at the end of the year Don't forget its £5.60p,please have the right money we don't wanna any one arriving late for the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 They're not going to spend any money on the toll booths given they're going within the next 4 months. Contactless payment is already an option and you also have the TAG pay as you go system which is a hillarious bit of prime 90's electronics - the size of small semi detached house.

As long as they got the Queen’s head on them and not the King’s you’ll be fine. Seriously, will that many people drive? Less than 2000 tickets so most will go by train or coach?

Contactless has been there for a good 18-24 months. The TAG system has been there pretty much since 1995-6 http://www.severnbridge.co.uk/Home.aspx?.Parent=severn-tag18&FileName=what-is-a-tag20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham Romanovich Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 7 minutes ago, Port Said Red said: Why Do you post in Haiku's? My knowledge of vocabulary has been extensively expanded since joining this site and here is just another example. Haiku (俳句) (plural haiku) is a very short Japanese poem with seventeen syllables and three verses. It is typically characterized by three qualities: The essence of haiku is "cutting" This is often represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas and akireji ("cutting word") between them] a kind of verbal punctuation mark which signals the moment of separation and colours the manner in which the juxtaposed elements are related. Traditional haiku consist of 17 on (also known as morae though often loosely translated as "syllables"), in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 on, respectively (An alternative form of haiku consists of 11 on in three phrases of 3, 5, and 3 on, respectively.) However, some authors are critical with the distribution of syllables, such as Vicente Haya or Jaime Lorente. A kigo (seasonal reference), usually drawn from a saijiki, an extensive but defined list of such terms. Usually I find I need some sort of English translation for some of NTTDS posts and hadn't fully appreciated the fact the original was probably written in Japanese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
