It’s not only Euro III and above that can meet the standards 
Some Euro II and a few Euro I certified vehicles registered before 1st October 2001 may have sufficiently low particulate matter emissions that they meet the LEZ emissions standards in 2008 without modification. These vehicles will not meet the tightened Euro IV LEZ emissions standards in 2012 without modification.
I got a nice letter and booklet from Red Ken’s crew the other day, telling me that my old FH will cost 200 pounds per day if I take it into London after feb 2008. Being as theres nothing wrong with the old gal, I guess I’m not going to London, which is lets face it, no great loss. London really is a toilet!
he didn’t write to me 
like you, I don’t want to go to London either, but it looks like I could get a LEC for the Daf if I wanted to! ( or even a RPC again if I spent 1100 quid on another Catalytic silencer I put a standard silencer on when the original catalytic one died )
Oh goody goody, I can go, but I won’t be, trampers description of the place is too polite.
Bring on Boris 
Maybe when London hasn’t got any essential goods it might implode and Ken might realise him and his crappy city aren’t that important.
After a trip to Vauxhall travis perkins I feel reasonably like tossing myself off(Vauaxhall bridge). If we had the gumption to say sod it & Ken realises that there’s an ill wind a blowing and his new constituents get a whiff of home, ie. Albania, on the streets of old Londinium, maybe he’ll give his horrible little head a shake. maybe not as well, the rancid little Trotskyite. 
If people do pay this daft charge, prices will go up on the products I suppose, but I bet they won’t only go up in London…the rest of us will be paying too indirectly.
Even if companies and hauliers don’t pay the charge and get new vehicles they still have to be paid for.
btw madders do you deliver into Keyline branches too?
Aye, all the lot unfortunately, bagged aggs. we get to all the best dead end streets in the smoke, still s’pose the duty free on’t Woolwich makes up for it…

Ordinary sand and shingle, etc or something a bit more specialist?
I drive for Keyline in Norwich and our stock in trade aggregates come out of the local quarry.
Run of the mill stuff for t.p plus a lot of these expensive japanese pebbles
people have no concept of what’s important, they’ll starve a farmer to death before they’ll pay a right price for milk but think nowt of £10+ for a bag of bloody pebbles!! go figure… 
Also cart a lot of rather ■■■■■■ sounding aggs, such as ‘Cotswold Buff’…
Dumpy bags that used to weigh 850kg before the monsoon season.

I took some bulk bags of blue decorative stone that they put round the base of the Jaguar fighter from RAF Coltishall that now sits outside County Hall in Norwich.
Nice to know they don’t spend our taxes on any old stones. 
A euro 2 with a RPC is classed as a euro 3 so that maybe good news for some people.
I’ve just noticed sets of cameras going up on grey poles. Similar sort of thing to specs but smaller round cameras.
We’ve taken 30t loads of pebbles from near Invergordon to Tilbury, to be polished and sold at £?s can’t remember the exact figure each. If anything had of gone wrong, it would jave stretched my good in transit
It’s not red Kon’s idea to introduce the L.E.Z but it is his idea to fine/tax/charge entry for emissions levels outside the target.
Most other countries are offering incentives to run cleaner engines (probably why we are virtually the only country in Euroland running euro 4 and not going straight to Euro 5 )
