# GCSE English lols
I got a 'B' twenty years ago. WTF!

I think they're both wrong, because they're both relating to plurals...

# I thought that less was to do with the size or extent of something
and fewer was the number... that's what was beaten into me by my mother when I was younger... now when I see the "10 items or less" line in Tesco I feel like I'm about to be walloped.

# No, you're fine
fewer is for countable quantities, less is for uncountable ones, like an amount of water.

# Arf!
The congestion charge, in London at least, whilst being a good idea in theory, was never going to work. The people who drive into the city during the hours it operates are either people who have to do it for work, like service engineers etc, or they are people that are so wealthy that paying an extra £8 a day is never going to bother them in the slightest.

# but it does work
traffic is down and so is pollution, the statistics speak for themselves.

# if this logic applies

Bunch of shortsighted wankers that they are.
