Does your LO know the difference between a meter and a metre?

Obviously not.

The new day time tariff will be going from £1.44 a mile to £1.50 a mile but we are keeping the £2.00 start.
We only have 1 £1.00 extra after 10 PM at the moment, the plus 25% will kill everything here as we already have had 2k job losses over the last 4 months

You may think that the +25% will kill everything but I would think that your area is not that different to other areas when it comes to the late night people who have had a few and don't even notice. Round here they hardly notice when some firms overcharge.
