As if the recycling drama wasn’t enough, chaos erupted at the Toll Booth near Guildford. A driver in a tiny Smart car decided to pay with a £50 note.
The attendant, bless her, looked like she’d just been asked to solve a Rubik’s Cube underwater. The queue stretched back half a mile while they debated the existence of change. I saw a pensioner in a Volvo start eating his sandwich out of pure boredom. That’s how you know it’s serious.
The Smart Car’s Final Stand
Eventually, the driver had to accept a handful of coins and a receipt that looked like a shopping list. He drove off with the window open, looking defeated. The guy behind him in a sports car revved his engine like he was at Silverstone. We all had a little internal chuckle at his expense.
