The point of a storage locker is that the contents are private so it is not on the record. Much easier to track transactions rather than things.

Road pricing will come in so there will be a tax on every mile you use a bus or use a motor vehicle.

Yet, it still doesn't address the core issue, tax avoidance by the wealthy.

Further, implementing a road tax would require cumbersome monitoring generally (and especially if making it progressive) or, if equally treated, would be horribly regressive.

But road pricing will happen in the next 20 years or something similar so we have to work out what it is.

The use of petrol etc needs to be cut.

I admit I do live in a city and can get to shoips, pubs or the railway station within a 15 minute walk.
