I just read that story on the BBC and I thought I’d come on here to see what people were saying. I actually really stupidly thought ‘it may stop the old trucknet women moaning about foriegn using our roads for free’. How wrong was I. You’ll just moan its too little instead. Just goes to prove my point that people on this poxy forum are never [zb] happy with anything. £10 a day is a fair amount. For €8 you can drive in Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland, Denmark and Sweden.

Have a nice day blaming anything from abroad for all your ills like old women over the garden fence.

Well if you bothered reading my posts properly unlike you I think this system is a good idea. I was complaining about you guys that won’t be happy till the borders are completely closed and you’re all living in a wonderland free of foreigners. You be handing over a lot more of your patrotic pounds though to pay for your goods.

I’m actually fine with foreign trucks being here, as you rightly say we are in the same boat when we cross the channel, I am just hoping this outrageous situation of foreign trucks bringing a load over then workin here all week comes to an end, it would be fine if the British haulier was competing on equal terms because it would be horses for courses, but it isn’t and currently the foreign trucks are helping strip our economy because of it, then add the fact you have a huge pool of foreign labour sending the money back home it isn’t hard to see why natives of this country are being put under more and more pressure, this bubble will burst big time at some point unless people wake up and smell the coffee.
