Ain't it time people of essex and Kent get another crossing under the Thames

NO!! keep the bu**ers where they are.

I left Bluewater shopping centre on fri morning at 10am..... i eventually arrived home at 9.00pm.I live approx 15 miles from Bluewater....its an effing joke.I've said it once and i will say it again.The highway agencies and the motorway police combined, take a perverse pleasure in causing as much misery and frustration to motorists as they can..why?..because they can.Unfortunately for these people, getting the traffic moving and the road clear appears to be well down their list of priorities....seeeeeth.

Seeeeethe, surely.

Don't come here then. They built Lakeside for the Essex chavs.  Leave Bluewater to us cultured Kent natives.

Bluewater scores higher for me because it has a John Lewis

the good folk of Southend  tried to build a bridge from Essex to Kent back in the day   ...they got about a third of the way and gave up ..

still stands there  to this day

How's wanting another crossing become blue water better lakeside essex better than Kent bollox !
I'm thinking of the traffic making me late
Where does the euro cross into Kent
Benfleet way!!!  ?

The ONLY advantage I EVER came across in 25 years of living in Thurrock was they started giving residents Dartford crossings for 10p.

Now I don't live there I don't need them anyway!

Are you English ?

Fattie, you are right. Last Friday evening there were queues back to junction 5!!!  If I have to go that way, I get up extra early!

Where does the euro train cross into Kent ?
could that be a good spot for a tunnel ?

It's ridiculous how few overhead bridges their are going east of the city of london nevermind underpasses, they are very well under served by them compared to the west of the city where they are plentiful.

scando...west of the city the river is quite narrow and there are no shipping issues. east of the city the thames widens and there are larger ships using tilbury etc.

The very fact that respected chit chatterers openly admit to going to places like Lakeside and Bluewater disturbs me greatly. Wild horses couldn't drag me to such locations

Explain please why, for us unfamiliar with the area.

it's a lady thing Slippers , i think the men get dragged along

it flooded the area when Chav ord 100 was built!

that is true blades, but they could still easily build a bridge between the blackwall tunnel and the Dartford Crossing, 15 miles of nothingness doesn't make sense, they've been campaigning for years to have one, Boris prefers obsessing with silly bike schemes.

All shopping centres are filed with chavs, even the Glades

Can some one tell me what the **** as chevs,
Lakeside and blue water got to do with build up of traffic
Needing a crossing ?
shopping centres open at 7 morning ????

It's Saturday afternoon, I've got my placepots organised, I have ATR and RUK on the go, Soccer Saturday is on, usually a live rugby union game as well and a fridge full of beer..

"You ready yet love?"
"Erm, ready for what exactly my petal?
"I'm going to Bluewater and thought you'd like to come as well to help me pick out a new dress and some scatter cushions."
"Nah you're alright, I'll stay here thanks all the same."

Slippy - you're supposed to enjoy it

Its all about the ticket barriers. Blame Brown.
The construction company had a 15 year lease, after which, the bridge/tunnel  would become property of the government, and free.
Brown blocked this, and said all the money from the tolls would go to building other bridges. WALOFS.
Not only did they keep the toll, they doubled the price overnight, and any bridges built subsequently were still financed by PFIs which
we will be paying for, for years to come.

Dartford Tunnel was half a crown (12 and a half pence for youngsters) when it opened.

I think I've paid for the whole lot since on my own.

it will all be good next month when the electronic charging system begins!

No toll fees up here.

Isle of Skye bridge ? 

Isle Of Skye Bridge, Forth Bridge, Tay Bridge, etc etc. Them all. Disgusting that English people have to pay tolls to travel on their own roads.

Mac, the only tollgate in London is down the road from me and is still raking it in

Must cost you a fortune every year. Grand annually?

Nice looking area.

It used to be manned by one of the old boys from the local pub the Alleynes Head and he just waived me through but now it is automated so that perk has been withdrawn Henry the Eighth once owned Dulwich and sold it to his mate Thomas Calton in 1539 at a giveaway price of a mere £609.

The Labour govt sold Newham in a joint enterprise scam..sorry scheme...to Bangladesh and Nigeria.

At what price cmat? Henry got £609 for my manor back then.

74p

My mate has just come back from India and i asked him what it was like
"Just like Newham without the pakie$" was his reply
